Slowly, O thou fleeting mind,
Slowly the ways of world wind;
You may pour down plenty a pot,
Season comes come fruits on the dot.

Hereunder is given the original doha, a couplet by Kabeer, which when rendered in English takes all of four lines, a quatrain or more:
Dheere dheere re mana, dheere sub kutch hoye
Mali seenche sau ghada, ritu aaye phal hoye
This couplet emphasizes on the importance of patience in life. Learn from nature, it says. Nature is never in hurry, and still does everything that needs be done. Any action always fetches fruits. But one should not do things expecting fruits in a hurry.
Topic: nature, deeds, fruits, patience

'Some are patients of patience'. I liked this expression. ...and yes I've heard about this joke. It is our habit. We hurry up frantically to reach anywhere, and then stretch our feet on an easy chair and while away the time. Thanks PP for visiting. Incidentally, 'nice' is often used as a pejorative.
