But, when we start living our lives our own way, we put so much burden on it – sometimes knowingly & sometimes unknowingly. And, we feel so casual about it. That burden makes our life and aura hell (dark).
You must be thinking what that burden is of? It is the burden of ‘Guilt’ for all the mistakes we make and it is the burden of all the 'Revenge' we want to take from others. Not just revenge, all the things we think someone should not have done to us.
We and our soul bear this burden for whole of our lives and for sure, after that as well. The soul gets rotten with all the burden piling together day by day for years.
So, one thing which is important and essential to have a burden free peaceful life is
“Forgive Yourself, Then Forgive Others - Before It’s too late”
Yes, I am saying it bluntly, Before it’s too late. Forgiveness is the only thing you can do to lower the burden your soul is bearing.
I would like to end it up with a beautiful quote by 'Lewis Smedes' :
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and
discover that the prisoner was you.”
P.S. - Feel free to leave your valuable feedback and your experiences.
Its difficult but its essential to eradicate all negative feelings such as guilt n revenge.feel free from all pessimism. Great job writer reema.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Didi for your lovely words.. I completely agree with you that living with all such feelings make you feel miserable and sad all the time. It affects not only your peace of mind but also your relationship with all your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteTo forgive is divine, so if somebody comes to you and
ReplyDeletesays that he has committed a mistake against you,
don’t miss the opportunity of tasting something of the
divine. Or, when you have committed some mistake
and you go to somebody else to be forgiven, you are
giving him a great chance to have some taste of the
divine. It is good for both of you. By forgiving, he
tastes something which is impossible to explain; it can
only be called divine, godliness. And you also will feel
something tremendously beautiful: humbleness,
egolessness. But remember not to commit the
mistake again. It should become a decision in you;
then you are really repentant. It has nothing to do with
God, it has nothing to do with any priest; it has
something to do with your own psychology.
Thanks a lot Sunil for this lovely message !! It's so thoughtful :-)
