“A paciência é um grande poder, é uma expressão da força. Ao perder a
paciência, você perde sua força e se torna vulnerável. Alguns fingem ter
paciência, e dessa forma acabam se prejudicando. Por fora você não
demonstra, mas por dentro está pegando fogo. A falsa paciência é
geradora de muitas doenças. Ela causa alterações no sistema nervoso e,
consequentemente, no sistema endócrino, o que se manifesta em diferentes
partes do corpo de acordo com as suas
heranças kármicas. Já a autêntica paciência é fonte de saúde, pois
estabelece equanimidade mental.”

"Patience is a great power – it is an expression of strength. When we lose patience, we lose our strength and become vulnerable. Some people merely pretend to be patient, but end up harming themselves, for behind their outward cool they are on fire. This false patience generates many illnesses. It causes changes in the nervous system and, consequently, in the endocrine system. The symptoms then show up in different parts of the body according to our own karmic baggage. Authentic patience on the other hand, is a source of health as it establishes mental equanimity.”

Via Daily Dharma: Experiential Wisdom
Contemplative
inquiry is in effect a dialogue between the “I” of the mind and the
“me” of the body that attunes us to the body’s deeper knowing, its
genuine experiential wisdom. Unlike discursive mind, the body has no way
of being anything other than genuine.
