FORGIVENESS

A forwarded email message that I received has adhered to my mind.
It stated that ‘not forgiving’ was like carrying a sack of potatoes, wherever one went. The potatoes rot and stink, but one goes on with the horrible task.
How terrible!
But we all do it!
Why?
Because one holds on to emotions of self pity and resentment.
Also one gets identified with the unhappy feelings of emotional wounds inflicted in the past. And that is not all, one keeps the process alive by compulsive thinking.

The irony is, that if one lets go of these negative feelings, one lets go of grief.
If grief leaves, a torrent of Life energy floods, and there, emotional, spiritual and physical disease cannot enter.
Easier said than done.
Arjuna told Krishna just that. That it was not easy to follow the Spiritual Truths (that Krishna taught) which lead to Enlightenment and Freedom.
Krishna answered that what is difficult, can be attained with practice and perseverance.
Sometimes one needs to forgive oneself.
Some circumstances, from the past make one feel unworthy and not deserving of forgiveness.
