When the student who is truly seeking to make progress on the Quest is confronted by an obvious failure in daily life--in marriage for example--he or she must realize there is a karmic lesson involved here, one which has not yet been properly learned. It would be extremely unwise for such a person to contemplate marrying again, before the important meaning of the message has been thoroughly taken to heart. So long as there remains any uncertainty in the matter, so long is it best to wait. Time alone is lost by such waiting, whereas the mistake of venturing blindly into another marriage might cause far greater grief. Guidance will come to the troubled seeker if he or she prays for it--and is patient.
