“It surely will help if children understand Life’s simple, unalterable truths early on: 1. What goes up, comes down and will go back up again; also, what goes around, comes around! 2. Until we get what we want, we must be patient. 3. Life happens through us and not because of us. 4. This human form, this lifetime, is a gift that we must be eternally grateful for. So, even if we can’t teach them or give them anything else, let us imbue in our children an appreciation for Life through these four perspectives – Faith, Patience, Humility and Gratitude. This is how we can prepare them for going through Life with equanimity, happily, despite whatever circumstances they have to deal with!”

“Beklemek, insanın hiçbir şey yapmıyormuş gibi görünürken çok şey yaptığı nadir bir hareket halidir. Hareket, tanımı itibariyle göz kırpmak dahil gözlemlenebilen her şeyi anlatırken, beklemek, bana kalırsa, harekettir.. Gözlemlenemeyen ama fevkalade çaba gerektirebilen bir hareket. Düşündüğünüz, olmasını istediğiniz bir durumun zamanının gelmesi için ödüle, hazza ulaşmayı ertelediğiniz, dikkat, duygu ve dürtü kontrolü becerilerinizi kullandığınız bir hareket. Bunu yapabilmek, yapmak için uğraşmak ve uğraşmaya devam etmek önemli. Bazen yapılacak iş, işi yapmaya devam etmektir. Bu da sabır gerektirir.”

“To be sure, there is no method, no single way, to anchor in Faith and employ Patience. Letting go, trusting the process of Life and living with Faith and Patience, is the way. Living through our crippling bankruptcy for over 12 years now, Vaani and I have realized that Faith does not always solve our problems immediately. But having Faith in the process of Life – that what goes around, comes around; that what goes up will come down some day, only to go back up another day – certainly helps us to cope with our problems better. Keeping the Faith also teaches us Patience. Unless you embrace these twin philosophies, and live practising them together, you will not see the miracles in your everyday Life.”
