Do you struggle to forgive others? How can you forgive someone who betrays you? Are you able to forgive even when someone has harmed you? If you do not forgive, what are the consequences? To learn the four secrets to forgiveness, watch this unique lecture by Swami Mukundananda. Swamiji has graciously revealed the divine knowledge on how to forgive others in response to a question from a devotee. In this video, Swamiji explains that forgiveness is an essential crowing virtue on the spiritual path. Until one has mastered the virtue of learning how to forgive, one has NOT REALLY ENTERED the spiritual realm. This is because every little situation will pull one down in the absence of ability to forgive. Swamiji further elaborates that the capability to forgive comes from situating right knowledge in the mind. Right knowledge is one that is bestowed from the Guru and validated from scriptures. It is this knowledge that makes one realize that we are living in this world of imperfect people. We are all in this materially conditioned state where people are bound to make mistakes. We can never expect that nobody will do any harm to us. This is going to happen again and again.

Forgiveness or forbearance is the ability to tolerate the offences of others, without feeling the need to retaliate. Through forgiveness, one heals the emotional wounds caused by others that would otherwise fester and disturb the mind.

Swamiji further corroborates the concept and approach by relating practical examples of from his everyday life in applying this divine knowledge. Further, the meaning of divine love is presented in relation to forgiveness. Swamiji also indicates the consequences of not making progress in this area.

We highly recommend learning the four secrets that make forgiveness easy and watching this video on a daily basis alongside your practicing till forgiveness gets situated in your heart and becomes second nature.
