Tolerance and patience are also the path of the bodhisattva.

311.  Inclusiveness and tolerance are one.  Only treason cannot be tolerated.  

469.  Three centuries after the departure of the Blessed One his disciples were already infected with religious strife.  After only a century Christianity manifested extreme intolerance.  The last utterances of Mohammed were immediately followed by fanaticism.  Religious controversies always destroy the sense of the true Teaching; therefore We now call for special tolerance and We reject controversies.      -M:   Agni Yoga 1929

212.  Patience is the gift of heaven--thus spoke the ancients.  Why should patience belong to heaven when in reality it should belong exclusively to the heart?  Yet how shall we exert patience without knowing the higher realm?  Only when the silver thread shall be drawn from the heart to the higher world will the understanding of patience come.  We revere that quality; it is close to tolerance and containment, in other words, to the opening of the gates.  If something is not close to us but it opens the heart of a neighbor, would we not tolerate it only to kindle someone's heart?  Would we prefer to satisfy our own pleasure and embitter the heart of a neighbor?  Moreover would it not be a beautiful test to keenly observe exactly what will open the heart to Good?  In the diversity of achievements one cannot fail to acknowledge the general harmony of the spheres.  Though it be expressed only in one tone yet each correct note sounds like a cosmic consonance and must be accepted with care.  Therefore people rebel so greatly in heart if this note is rejected.  The trial by patience is one of the highest tests.

295.  Let us give attention to the rhythm of the given Teachings.  It can be seen how perception alternates with affirmation; thus the time has arrived when accumulations will afford a knowledge of the foundations of life.  Soon one will already be able to commit cosmic paths to the hands of scientists, but it is the more necessary to affirm ardor toward the general good.  It is necessary especially now to concur on how to live and to direct oneself into the future; when the entire position of mankind undergoes unprecedented danger it is necessary to weave the design outside of expected directions.

568.  Tolerance and patience are also the path of the bodhisattva.  This path is not in the clouds but on Earth.  The effluvium of life is great; hence the path of the bodhisattva is also needed.  Precisely, though these fumes are humanly insignificant, they smart the heart like salt water.  Utilize the mountain air; do not tire yourselves, even a diver must not dive if fatigued.  One can compare the descent into human refuse precisely with a diver's work.  He is ready to help the drowning person, but he himself is in need of air.   I do not exaggerate, you are in need of air during Armageddon.  Prana is like nourishment for the heart.   One cannot help you through ignoble ways; the remedies must be in accordance with the task.

578.  are not people who do not know the heart limited?  One should not laugh at such poverty but unnoticeably and patiently impel it forward toward an image worthy of expression.  The same tolerance must be manifested for all ugliness.
