Forgiveness stories quotes definition and love

Forgiveness is that quality in a human being which separates him from the animals and the lower types of living beings. To preach forgiveness is a simple task but so that you can practice forgiveness in the real world is the essence of life.

Only a person with extreme humbleness imbibed within and a sense of compassion for his compatriot has the capacity to practice forgiveness! So that you can forgive mandates that the forgiver forgoes all of the sufferings of history that may happen to be inflicted upon him by the gruesome acts of the indulgent. A tough task indeed although not something which can’t be practised!

In many circumstances one may not have committed any sin, still practising forgiveness brings within us a feeling of extreme calm and compassion for the mankind generally. Practice of forgiveness normally can’t be practiced by the common man for this requires practising patience to the extreme.

If we are to achieve our goal of life… we simply cannot have the ability to cling onto events of the past… happenings which can’t be reversed by us using any means. We cannot travel back in time to undo the events of history. Why not practice forgiveness and forgive those ignorant denizens from the society who practiced ill will and caused injury to the society.

Forgiving the ignorant is the greatest policy… it clears us of the debris of history! Indulgence within the ugly residual remembrances of history results in anger. Why destroy our body and health by harbouring the evil thoughts of the past.

Knowing well that people cannot undo the events of the past… we must brace ourselves for the times ahead! To be able to peacefully practice in our we have to follow the dictates of forgiveness to its extreme! There are no allowances in the field of forgiveness. It needs to be total surrender!

Practising forgiveness is the biggest boon to mankind from God master. One can exercise this power and take the larger goals of life by discriminating between your pros and cons. Harbouring ill will against one never yields positive results.

In the present times when the values in the society are in their lowest ebb we have to exercise this special power of discrimination (practising forgiveness) quite often. We have not one other remedy if we are to increase to a higher bracket in life.

Every successful person in life practices forgiveness to its extreme. Whether or not this was Mahatma Gandhi, John F. Kennedy or Margaret Thatcher and Bill Gates for instance… all were and therefore are the best practitioners of forgiveness in their life.

Forgiveness just can’t be preached… it has to be practiced in totality! Only then shall we be in a position to benefit from the fruits of practising forgiveness in the present life. All the Man Gods from the yester era… Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus and Prophet Mohammed practiced forgiveness all the time from a really young age.

Practising forgiveness provides you with an edge over your contemporary… it will help maintain the sanity of the person. Forgiveness reduces the element of hate which follows whenever wanton desires get practiced.

Citing an example-

One Yogi (a renowned seeker of spirituality) was one day using a bath on the fringe of a swollen river which had flooded. It so happened that due to the flood one scorpion happened to drift by. On seeing the plight from the scorpion it might die… the Yogi picked it up in the hand but immediately needed to do away for that scorpion gave a piercing poisonous bite.

Unmindful from the bite the Yogi again picked up the scorpion and again the scorpion bit his hand. This happened thrice. One passerby who was conscious of the spiritual accomplishments from the Yogi could not contain himself and coming near the Yogi enquired of him why he was attempting to help the nasty scorpion.

The reply through the Yogi made the onlooker flabbergasted. It wasn’t to be believed for the Yogi had replied, “when this poor scorpion (a much lower degree of species on the plane of evolution) is not able to let go of his practice of biting one… how could the Yogi let go of his practice of helping one. What a great practitioner of compassion and forgiveness this Indian Yogi was.

In spite of being bitten thrice… he was able to practice forgiveness because of the feeling of compassion within. This is the way forgiveness could be truly defined. A genuine practitioner of forgiveness never thinks of the outcomes from the acts by the other but remains focused on the finish goal of his life… always and ever! This can help one develop the power of forgiveness… true compassion to be practiced in daily life.
