The ideal does at times appear to be very far away,
and the time of waiting seems very long.
The only time that seems long
is the the time that is not well employed in continuous attainment,
and the only waiting time, that seems the hardest time of all,
is that time that is not fully consecrated
the the highest purpose you have in view.
We usually require considerable time in finding the way,
but after the way has been found,
the time to secure certain results is usually insignificant.
So long as the mind is on the heights
the waiting time disappears.
