Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 I am really sorry!<br>Today, my friend, named David, called to tell me that he quit his job on Oct 5. On hearing this news, I started telling him it was his responsibility for this resignation, he should¡K.., he should not¡K., he must change his bad temper with his boss¡K. And things go on and go on. Suddenly, a tremendous guilty arose within me. I perceived that I tried to changed him, rather than giving him my supports, I blamed him for this resignation.<br>Put aside the really reason why he resigned his work, the first mistake I made is I did not trust him that he have the ability to take good care of himself. I neglect that there is a God hidden inside him. Secondly, I don't accept what he really is, which means I accept him only if he act according to my idea, my expectation. Third, why the betterment? Why should people do make any effort to make improvement? who I am to judge him? Who I am to determine what is right and what is wrong? The point is he is a person being, he is as divine as everyone. <br>Recently, I make effort to love myself, reject any outside judgement to get into my heart. But I ignore I should do the same thing to others. I am really sorry towards David and I decide to call him and say "I am sorry" tonight!<br><br>Anand Prabodh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Last time, I post a article to illustrate a situation regarding how I reacted towards my friend's resignation. In fact, I find there is a truth behind the whole situation, that is I tried hard to escape the reality. The reality is I fear. I fear against that whole situation I would gain revenge from my friend because I hurt his ego, and Osho say when you hurt someone, he will get back to you, the chain is created.<br>The reality is that I fear the karma and I post some article on line in a attempt to get rid of some responsibility, thinking, "may be I post this article and my sin will reduce a little." This is the game of ego, deep down, I did not really repent what I have done to David, I just want to get rid of karma. <br>I am sorry for what I have done in this Club!<br><br>Anand Prabodh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 My dear friend Anand Prabodh......I myself do not believe in sin......but then I am just a guy on the path......I think if you are sorry for some things you have done and are really sorry and feel bad about it......I think you have already punishied yourself, but then I am not a Master or Guru.......Please I guess what I am trying to say is don't be so hard on yourself........O.K.<br><br>I am sending you my warmth and it is on the wind.<br>Namaste jeffrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 I believe that introspection and being able to see your own faults without attachment to them is a big step in itself. Thank you for being open!<br><br>Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
