Humans are impatient, often unable to see past incarnations or the battle of life. To quicken the ripening of self-realization, we need faith, patience, and self-effort. The sunflower, a symbol of the balance between effort and patience, serves as a reminder. To stay turned toward the Divine Light, we should keep our flame of love for God burning brightly, align with the will of God and Gurus, and mix with other devotees. We must also realize that it is ourselves who need to change, not the world around us. Meditation and service to God are necessary for progress on the spiritual path. God is deeply aware of our longing, and turning toward His light will help us through all seasons of our lives.
