Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Mentally visualise the person you were angry with that day or someone you’ve been angry with for a long time. First forgive that person for making you angry, then ask that person for forgiveness and finally forgive yourself for over-reacting, so that you have cleared the space for the future relationship. Learn to pardon others’ mistakes;

To err is human, but to forgive to divine. Forgiveness is like a cancelled note – you tear it in two and throw it into the fire. Forgiveness is much harder than being angry, and may involve deep suffering. When we ask for forgiveness of others, we are primarily asking for a removal of anger.

How do we know if we have forgiven somebody? It is when we see them and the reaction has gone, or even better we feel love. Forgiveness must becomes part of our psychological make-up. Forgiveness should also be silent and unknown – don’t advertise it, because then you have not forgiven as forgiveness doesn’t involve any further action. When we forgive, the other person’s reaction is not our business.

Forgiveness, forbearance and patience are all qualities that counteract anger.


Adaptability. Train yourself to adapt to others. If you adapt yourself you will draw out the best of others.


Humility. Learn to see yourself as not the most important person in life. Start to practice from today.


Gratitude and Cheerfulness.


Be positive

When things change in your mind things will fall into place. If there is a small amount of pain somewhere, that is excellent. If things are difficult or not how you want them to be, then take your time. That is usually the best time to learn some spiritual truths. When things don’t happen, don’t force them. Time is our best friend and teacher.


Surrender

Only God knows what the best is for us; stay where you are and wait and see. Life is like driving. There may not always be green lights, but red light might even save your life. We don’t know why we have to wait, but even if sometimes that may be uncomfortable, it might save us from a deeper catastrophe. The whole teaching of yoga is of living in the present moment.


Focus on what you have to do. Your boss might be angry but focus on your work. Every moment of your life focus on what you have to do.
