Do you feel i did fine or should i have never spoken to her after she betrayed my trust. What would guru ji say about this ??? I did look at this religious wisely, i said to myself that if 60% was her fault, 40% was mine 2 somewhere, and if i want my fault/sin to be forgiven from GOD i will have to forgive her. Am i correct in anlaysing a sin that someone you trust does towards you ???
Thanks.
(REPLY) Sat Nam. As human beings, we make mistakes. Sometimes we do things that betray trust. That is certainly wrong, but if someone betrays your trust,when we don't forgive them, we carry resentment and anger inside our own being, and it's painful, it's like poison. So, it is desirable to forgive others -- which doesn't mean that you let them hurt you again! Only that you let go of the anger and resentment, and get on with your life. It is also important to forgive ourselves if we do something wrong, and make every effort not to make the same mistakes a second time! Does that make sense? What I'm trying to say is that you have a right to avoid associating with someone who hurts you, who does not honor your grace, but that does not mean that you hate them or have to be angry with them. We want to love everyone - impersonally-- but it can be done at a distance! Blessings, SP
