CONFESSION OF SINS

[Guest guest]

Bhagavan never encouraged people who came

and started to confess their sins.

He would not allow them to continue but

shut them up by telling them not to dwell

on the past but to find out who they were

now in the present.

 

The point was not the act but attachment to it

that mattered . Dwelling on it in retrospect

was the worst thing they could possibly do.

This itself was attachment.
