Patience is such that a devotee should be thinking that either now, or maybe ten years from now, or next birth or hundreds of births, whatever it may be, "I must receive the mercy of the Lord." One who has this faith will go on executing his service with firm faith and that is what invokes the reciprocation of the Lord and the Lord becomes very much inclined by that devotion. He becomes a prisoner in the heart of that devotee who has firm faith.
