Kanhaji's patience

Kanhaji is very patient. He knows that we take a long time to learn some lessons and that some of us take a long time to come to Him. However, He waits for us and loves us all the same while we are being impossible and difficult to deal with. Kanhaji teaches us to be patient with others who are having a hard time understanding or dealing with things - they may be younger members of our families or older members. The important thing to remember is to respect whoever you are dealing with. There has been a recent and quite terrible trend to make fun of the older citizens in society. However, the truth is it is an honour to be able to grow old since you are able to see your accomplishments and to reflect on your life.
There is also a trend to make fun of the very young and try to ridicule them when they get upset or get something wrong. This is clearly a wrong action since these children will one day grow up and treat us with disdain when they remember what we did to them. I wonder if this is why some people treat the old with such disrespect.
No matter the reason for these undesireable acts, the important thing to remember is that Kanhaji wants us to behave in a respectful and loving way always. He is always with us taking care of us and guiding us and we need to remember Him in everything we do - even the little things like this.
Jai Shri Krishna!
