Forgiveness

He spoke about you people. He asked for forgiveness for all. What we have to learn from His life is the way He knew how to forgive - all of us.

We have to forgive people. That seems to be very difficult for people to forgive and if you are angry, then one cannot forgive. Then you are not anymore a Sahaja Yogi; as Sahaja Yogis you must forgive. That is very important; because that is the power you have won - from Christ.

Human beings make mistakes, that is a part of their life, but at the same time as Sahaja Yogis you must realize that you have to forgive, that this is much more important than getting angry. So to forgive people you have done something wrong, according to you or according to God, you have to forgive. And you will be surprised that the forgiveness is such a great and fine quality. If you can forgive, people will become extremely pure.

Because the dirt or the anger that is within us… no doubt.

So to forgive is the biggest blessing human beings have. Even Christ said the same thing. “I forgive them because they don’t know what they are doing.” So if Christ had to say that then what about you? We are all human beings and if we have done mistakes, then people can get angry and upset with you, but the best thing for you is - to forgive.

Forgive for doing something that should have not been done. This was the biggest quality of Christ that He knew how to forgive. He forgave people how had made horrible mistakes and He forgave them, because He loved them. And that is why you should also forgive.
