MyYogaClub.com - Why Forgiveness Is Not A Spiritual Trait

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

The following article is taken from my site www.myyogaclub.com. Enjoy reading

and feel free to leave your thoughts in the forum. Hope you enjoy... Love Sanjib

 

Forgiving someone implies taking the higher morale authority over

another's action. It comes directly from the space of ego where the " I "

decides to forgive " you " . There is nothing but a sense of separation in

forgiveness and can only take one further away from one's inner truths.

 

Yoga empowers us to feel connected with this entire creation and feel a

sense of belongingness and love. Vedic philosophies actually determine

consciousness to be nothing more than a divine representation of love.

However, it is the distortion of this love that causes the imbalance

and problems we see in the world today. Jealousy, fear, hatred are all

gross distortions of love and roam freely, moving from one mind to the

other. It takes a composed and controlled mind to with stand these

forces, as the tendency of our mind is to cling onto the negative....

Sanjib ji,

 

Hari Om !

 

Your message may please be divided into TWO parts- Respecting &

Forgiving. Firstly, people should pay respect to each other. Respecting

others is an attitude. It does not simply mean wishing the other person

or getting up when he/she appears. Respecting other people mean that we

believe that the other person is a decent man with civic sense &

honesty. It means that you don't expect the other person to be rude,

harmful, distrustful or disgusting. This depends on what one believes

oneself to be. If one believes in his/her integrity then others too will

appear similarly but if one has no integrity then the other one too will

appear the same. In short a thief recognises another. Respect & fear are

difficult to differentiate. In a gang, members fear each other. In an

office too the juniors fear the bosses. At school we generally fear our

teachers but later in life when we meet them we respect them. So you

see, respecting others is simply respecting one self. It is to see one

self in the other person. Without respect for others it is difficult to

function in a society. 'Karma Yoga' ( selfless services to His

creatures) helps in developing this 'BHAVA'. NO DOUBT, Yoga empowers us

to feel connected with this entire creation and feel a sense of

belongingness and love.Secondly, if the attitude of respecting develops,

the attitude of forgiveness grows automatically............ it's a

natural phenomena. So the first part is more important. Thanks for your

article .......
