Forgiveness: Forgiving self and others

The biggest problem of our life" Understanding forgiveness...forgiving self...forgiving others".

Forgiveness is one deep thought which has access to the unlimited peace which is eternal in nature. To forgive others from the core of the heart is difficult as we have the resentments against that person and want the same happening to that person. We forget that the thought of resentments, revenge etc are burdens on our soul which we carry birth after birth and punish ourselves.

At the same time, it is more difficult to understand that this has roots in our forgiveness for ourselves. We have lot of resentments against ourselves. We have thoughts to punish ourselves and keep punishing.
Example: If we are addict to something in life, it is a sort of punishment we impose on ourselves for not forgiving ourselves for the deeds we committed in our past lives. We punish our being, our physical body and thus the emotional plane...creating more karma.

So, in order to practice forgiveness, start with self, sit and pray to the almighty to give you the understanding of the resentments one has towards oneself and then ask strength to forgive oneself.
This exercise may take several days or may be months...but as this exercise begins, many problems in life start dissolving.
One feels lighter from inside when this process begins and progresses. Even talk to your organs and forgive them and ask forgiveness.

Then move to the others, parents, siblings, relatives, friends, colleagues, know and unknown people. This should be done in meditation. Forgive and ask forgiveness...

Forgive...and go forward in your journey of evolution.
