I Can Forgive

Forgiveness is a unification of the soul with God, comparable to the raindrop's reception by the sea.

- Imelda Shanklin

Who is the only one who can limit my capacity to forgive?  Me!  Yet, why should I?  Through unlimited forgiveness, I release the burden of former hurts and begin again.

This willingness to forgive takes some practice, but I can do it.  I can forgive.  If there is anything I have done that I regret, I forgive myself and let it go.  I am not acting irresponsibly, because as I release, I make a commitment to do better in the future.

And if there is anything that anyone has done which caused me sorrow or pain, I forgive them.  As I release all hurtful memories about them, I feel a healing happening within me.

From the love of God in my own heart, I forgive myself and others.

Selflessness

GEM 695

It is purity of mind that helps to sublimate mankind, direct it towards God and enables it to manifest the inherent divinity in man.

Q481

Should one pray to God for Moksha?



When God’s grace is won, one need not pray separately for Moksha or liberation. He knows best what you should get and when. He will give what you deserve and benefit from. Yearn for Him, suffer anguish for Him; there is no need to yearn for Moksha then. If that is done with no second thought, He will destroy all your sins. Hold fast to Him; He can make you immortal. Those who want to escape from this cycle of birth and death, must obey the command of the Lord as laid down in the Gita and surrender to Him.
