calm, quiet and patient

A pure devotee is never disturbed in any circumstances. Nor is he envious of
anyone. Nor does a devotee become his enemy’s enemy; he thinks, “This person
is acting as my enemy due to my own past misdeeds. So it is better to suffer
than to protest.” In the Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.14.8) it is stated: tat te
‘nukampam su-samiksamano bhunjana evatma-krtam vipakam. Whenever a devotee
is in distress or has fallen into difficulty, he thinks that it is the
Lord’s mercy upon him. He thinks, “Thanks to my past misdeeds I should
suffer far, far greater than I am suffering now. So it is by the mercy of
the Supreme Lord that I am not getting all the punishment I am due. I am
just getting a little, by the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
Therefore he is always calm, quiet and patient, despite many distressful
conditions. A devotee is also always kind to everyone, even to his enemy.
