“Forgiveness is not always easy, but without forgiveness, we cannot make spiritual progress. When we refuse to forgive a friend or a supposed enemy who has wronged us, even if he wrongs us again and again, we tie ourselves not only to that person but to his anger. Therefore, we are not truly free until we resolve the anger and balance the karma.
There may be times when we feel we cannot forgive someone because we believe the crime they committed against us or a loved one has been too great. In a situation like this, God has taught me that we should forgive the soul and ask God to bind the not-self of the person that caused him to commit the crime. No matter how bad a person’s deeds are, we should always forgive the soul, thereby avoiding a karmic entanglement. Hatred binds; love frees.
Spiritually speaking, each time we don’t forgive someone, we are putting a barrier between ourselves and another part of God. And sometimes the most important person you have to forgive is yourself.”
