In addition, upon further thought, we find that immediacy in gratification of low desires has no meaning and no purpose. The meaning is lost when the immediate is expressed for its own sake. When the 'Here' and 'Now' are the only things on people's minds, they do not care for meaning, because meaning can only be found over time, and the passage of time requires some patience. That is why now we find people trying to find meaning, but find none, and end up giving meaning to the meaningless. Also purpose is lost in actions and thoughts.
Purpose is found only in consideration of the future.
But when future is only an immediate present waiting to happen 'now', then there is no purpose, but only randomness and chaotic action and thought. This amounts to nothing but an illusion. But if you persevere patiently and guard against evil, then that will be a determining factor in all affairs. Hence we must sacrifice the immediate gratification of our desires, and find our abode in patience. Once we take on the garb of patience, then we must become prepared for trial.
