Peace and Forgiveness

Days are for action.

Nights are for peace.

During the day we act, react and interact.

During the night we do Samadhi or peaceful meditation.

Those actions, reactions and interactions

We do during the day.

Come at night in our dreams

They come as emotions, as nightmares, as body vibrations.

We want the night to be for peace,

For the dreams of soul.

What are the dreams of soul?

Omniscience, Peace, Bliss, Perfection.

To have the dream of soul,

We erase certain vibrations of the day

Before they permeate our consciousness.

So, we have these thoughts and feelings:

I forgive all and let all forgive me.

Forgive not only in words;

I forgive in every crevice of my consciousness.

I feel no animosity, no vindictiveness, no grudge

Against any living being in the universe.

I evoke the Siddhas,

The Perfect Souls to witness

This, my act of forgiveness

Gurudevji Shree Chitrabhanu

When we forgive, we become one with the light of our soul.

Without forgiveness, we are like a lamp whose inner flame

cannot penetrate the fine particles of soot which smear the

outer chimney. When we wash away these subtle grains of

anger, resentment and hatred with forgiveness, then the

radiant soul within shines forth its ray of joy and peace.
