To be ever waiting in attendance on God even though work is not entrusted to us is Ormi. It tests our patience actually. This you could have seen several times with the Master also. Some one in his presence get up all of a sudden, there won’t be any work. He will say he is getting the hookah. The person who gets the hookah is different. You become restless, impatient, because no work is entrusted to you. You are competent, you are surrendered, you are available for work but no work is given to you, you have to wait. That is where lot of people lose their patience.
