धीरे-धीरे रे मना, धीरे सब कुछ होय,
माली सींचे सौ घड़ा, ॠतु आए फल होय।
Patience is truly the key to each and everything in the world. Rome was not built in a day and similarly your future, your success, your fate can't be engendered in just one moment.
In this couplet Kabir asks you to be patient, because patience is one of the keys of success. When we are trying to get good at something, many a times when we are not being able to perform as per our expectations, we become very anguished at ourselves and forsake following that thing with the same passion. Most of us, after being disappointed or defeated, stop trying due to the fear of failure and at last nothing happens, we continue to be at the same spot where we started. Its in toto true that when we step out to do something unprecedented, to do something to change the world around us, we are bound to deluge of defeats. After being at the receiving end for so long, we would start being skeptical about our virtues and qualities; with more and more defeats, our confidence and more importantly our vision, would plunge deep down into an irrecoverable state if we let if reach the crescendo of the pits. During such moments, only our patience works out. It happens many a times that most of the people quit and when they have quit, they realize that they were just one step behind success. They quit because they didn't have patience, despite of trying so hard they failed because they didn't carry perseverance. Thomas Edison thrived on making bulb for more than thousands times and then he became successful. Imagine that just like others, if he would have quit the 999th time, the world might not be so much technologically advanced today.
Recently I also read a statement by the legendary footballer Lionel Messi in which he said that it took him 17 years and 114 days to become an "overnight" success. This guy who is admired by millions for his dribbling talent had to work continuously for 17 and a half year. There might have been so many ups and downs, he might have lost many games, but his patience never let him give up and that's why the world admires him today.
All these things clearly proves, Kabir's aphorism on patience. So just follow Saint Kabir and be patient if you want to achieve success.
