Being patient is very valuable.
Contexte culturel
The Warkari pilgrims walk hundreds of miles to Pandharpur. For them, 'Sahanshilata' is not just a proverb but a lived reality of enduring physical pain for spiritual gain. Saints like Tukaram have written extensively about 'Shanti' (peace). This proverb is a simplified version of their complex poetic teachings on the human ego. In crowded cities, this proverb is often used as a social lubricant to prevent road rage or arguments in public transport like Local trains or PMT buses. Marathi parents often use this phrase to instill 'Sanskar' (values) in children, teaching them that emotional control is a sign of maturity.
