When you forgive a person, what do you do? You accept the situation, to begin with, and secondly you forgive what you think has been done wrong to you. But because nothing can be done wrong to your Spirit, you just forgive, because you are the Spirit. And when you forgive, you have found that your tension goes away. So even to your thoughts if you say, “Alright, forgive this thought, forgive this thought,” because thought is also not to be punished. “Forgive this thought, forgive this thought, forgive everything.” Not forget, forgive: because then you will even forget that you are the Spirit! But “forgive all the thoughts that are coming to me.” just go on saying. This is a mantra.
You don’t have to put in any effort for it. You don’t have to pay for it, it’s just you have to say, “I forgive.” You’ll be amazed your nerves will soothe down, this tension, this pressure of these modern things will be reduced if you go on saying, “I forgive, I forgive them”.
Now what happens when you forgive someone? That means you do not react. The power to react to somebody’s injuries, insults is finished. And when that power is finished, you become a powerful person…
