We All Make Mistakes
Before we find our true
path, before we commence on our inner journey, we all have made mistakes, we
all have hurt or harmed someone or the other both knowingly and unknowingly.
And once we commence the inner journey and become aware of karma and its
implications some of us get into a mental bind – there is fear of what we have
done in the past and how it is going to affect us going forward, how we can pay
for those deeds? The fear takes hold of us and starts becoming an impediment in
our inner progress.
Once we find our living
Master, our Satguru, he is the one who awakens and gives birth to our soul.
Once he does that, he takes on all the accumulated good and bad deeds done by
us in our past lives. He gives us the strength to face the consequences of
whatever bad deeds we have done in this life.
The best way to get
over the guilt is to repent and if you remember the people whom you have
harmed, then it is best to approach such people and apologise in person. Make
amends, try and make friends and if that is not possible at least wipe the
slate clean and move on. Always pray for the welfare and spiritual progress of
such people.
It is also a good idea
to pray for the overall welfare and spiritual welfare of even those people who
you may have hurt unknowingly – during meditation just offer a silent prayer to
all such souls – ‘I seek forgiveness from all those souls whom I may hurt
knowingly or unknowingly and I pray for their overall progress and spiritual
welfare.’ This prayer can be offered just before going to bed. Similarly
forgive those who may have hurt you knowingly or unknowingly and pray for their
overall welfare and spiritual progress.
By doing this we are
not only cleansing our selves but also sending out peaceful and loving
vibrations out into the universe – making peace and offering love. At the
subtle level this is of great help and over time you will find that you are benefitting
as your mental fear disappears and you become calm and filled with inner quietude
and peace.
Nature’s grace is such
that it will pardon any mistake, because only mistakes make you learn. Every mistake you make and the lesson you learn is a stepping stone to a better and more beautiful you.
If you
have the opportunity to see the people you wronged, go to them with all courage
and apologise. That’s the only way to repay your debts. If you cannot see these
people, if they are not here anymore, at least mentally pray for them. Think of
them. Send your apologies to them. That way you can pay them back and it won’t
affect you.

Good one. But what about the situation where we are constantly in stress due to office work and unexpected politics. They are constantly over mind and it becomes so difficult to live in peace. Is it because of our tolerance or bad stithi?
Absolutely You guessed it right. It's our own Low Tolerance Quotient and Bad 'Stithi'
What my Guru Bandhu Mr. Girish Borker Blogged is 100% True according to my understanding.
We get stressed when we loose mind balance,further we start loosing patience when things slip out of our control leading to increased intolerance, that further leads o anger and anger further leads to wrong decisions. By this time we are caught in a vicious cycle of negativity and our "I" (Ego) gets a way to express itself and desperately attempting to prove oneself right. On the contrary when we are balanced, the reverse process starts.. Here, even if somebody slaps us, we may think first before responding (not reacting)on why I got the slap when so many were there , it means there must be something wrong with me or my approach to the things around me, may be my Aura ( The Personal Human Field ) has ben affected and needs cleaning. In any case ,we will ot blame anybody else for creating some stress or harming us diplomatically or through politics , rather will take the ownership of self being in that state and try to come out of hat situation through self cleansing approach, best being meditation.
