Compassion - Forgiveness is Divine
Sikh Research and Education Center
The Spirit of Forgiveness gives Peace of Mind, Happiness and resultant Good Health. Anger interferes with the body's normal functions and is the cause of numerous bodily ailments. It causes both mental and physical distress. The persons who cultivate grievances against others cannot enjoy good life. Even when one considers anger to be justified, the result is only bitterness and more frustrations and more violence.
A forgiving heart is a joyful and peaceful heart. One does not pick up fights against others, simply because they hold different views or even they are considered as sinners. Assuming of the Self Righteous Role is the Greatest Sin. He who assumes the Self Righteous Man's Role, is the Greatest Sinner - Aapas ko jo bhalla kahavai, tisai bhalahi nikat na avai (Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Rag Gauri, Sukhmani Sahib) - One sees a mole [ie, mote] in another's eye, but is unaware of the beam in his own eye. No one is competent to take law in his own hands against any one. If any one had inflicted an injury to us and we were taken unaware and could not defend ourselves, subsequently we have no right to take law in our hands to avenge the wrong done to us. Taking
of revenge by us would complicate the matter and would cause all-round unrest and series of chain re-actions. We are all God's creatures and He
resides within every one alike and it is He Who motivates our actions. No actions by any one, Good or Evil, go unnoticed, unaccounted and unrewarded
by God. He is Infinite, His Ways are Mysterious, the only Doer and Most Just, Kind and Compassionate. The correct approach should be that man
should not worry about settling out his scores with others, but should worry about establishing his own relationship with his Creator, surely, all the
problems will be justly solved by Him.
