Forgiveness
Today I am going discuss about one of the main obstacles of success and the wayout from it. Pain and sting weaken our mind in all aspect, we can not be successful while we have such things in our heart.
As part of growing to sucessful life, you have to think of happy and healthy mind. Forgiveness, is the wayout of pain in all aspects to get a happy mind. Let us see the technique of forgiveness.
Technique of forgiveness
The following is a simple method, which works wonders in your life as you pritice it: Quiet your mind, relax, and let go. Think of God and His love for you, and then affirm, “I fully and freely forgive (mention the name of the offender); I release hi mentally and spiritually. I completely forgive everything connected with the matter in question. I am free and he/she is free. It is a marvelous feeling. It is my day of general amnesty. I release anybody and everybody who has ever hurt me, and I wish for each and everyone health happiness, peace, and all the blessings of life. I do this freely, joyously, and lovingly, and whenevery I think of the person or persons who hurt me, I say, ‘I have released you, and all the blessings of life are yours.’ I am free and you are free. It is wonderful!”
The great secret of true forgiveness is that once you have forgiven the person, it is unnecessary to repeat the prayer. Whenever the person comes to your mind, or the particular hurt happens to enter your mind, wish the delinquent well, and say, “Peace be to you.” Do you as often as the thought enters your mind. You will find that after a few days the thought of the person or experience will return less and less often, until it fades into nothingness.
The acid test of forgiveness
There is an acid test of gold. There is an acid test for forgiveness. If I should tell you something wonderful about someone who has wronged you, cheated you, or defrauded you, and you sizzled at hearing the good news about this person, the roots or hatred would still be in your subconscious mind, playing havoc with you.
Let us suppose you had a painful abscess on your jaw a year ago, and you told me about it. I would casually ask you if you had any pain now. You would automatically say, “Of course not, I have a momory of it but no pain.” That is the whole story. You may have a memory of the incident but no sting or hurt any more. This is the acid test, and youmust meet it psychologically and spiritually, otherwise, you are simply deceiving yourself and not practiciing the true art of forgiveness. Practice this until you get a perfectly happy mind and see the result. Additionally, the books Forgiveness is a Choice and Total Forgiveness really help you in this.
