As we know only that who can forgive should forgive. Can I forgive you for a wrong you have done to Mr A??? We teach our kids that they need to say sorry to the person that they have hurt or caused discomfort.
In the movie Agneepath - there is a very interesting dialogue about the fact that can a weak person forgive? Or only the strong can forgive?
- Saying sorry without meaning is no good - its lip service
- Asking for forgiveness when one realises ones mistake - is a state of awareness
- Making efforts to make good the wrong done ( to whatever extent possible) - is in the direction of freeing oneself from the karma impact
- when a person is hurt & is expecting an apology - we are attached & create a karma
- when forgiveness is requested if we feel good ( ah he is asking for my forgiveness) - then we are in ego
- when we truly forgive - is when we elevating ourselves from the karama bandhan
When we become aware of a mistake we have made, we should ask God for punishment and not forgiveness. Thus we free
ourselves from the karma that was created by that wrong we did.
A story
A Mahatma was going with his student in a
boat. Another boat following them had many kids in it. These kids kept teasing
the Mahatma and his student. After some time the boat carrying the students,
collapsed. Immediately the Mahatma slapped his student. Student asked: why did
you do that? Mahatma said: I am sure you must have thought "good that their boat
collapsed" so I punished you immediately for that wrong thought so that you do
not carry it further and get bonded by it.
