AFTERMATH OF FORGIVENESS

Dear self healers,

So, feeling at peace after doing forgiveness act for the past 3 days? (I am addressing this sentence only to those who are applying the cleansing techniques that is suggested- not to those who are just reading it and commenting/ arguing about it.)

Each one of you who has done rebirth meditation with anger also must be feeling calm and peaceful from within. Good. But, hey folks! Want to know what’s the aftermath of forgiveness like? Well, read on…..

Once upon a time, there lived a farmer who had a son who was very short tempered. The farmer wanted his son to conquer his anger. So, he gave his son a packet of nails and a hammer and asked him to hammer these nails on to the fence whenever he lost his temper. So, whenever the boy lost his temper, he went and hammered the nails on to the fence. Slowly the boy started to become aware of the number of nails he hammered every time and tried to reduce them. Finally came a day, when he did not hammer any nail on to the fence. He had FINALLY conquered his anger. He gave the remaining nails and the hammer back to his father. Now, the farmer wanted his son to realize the consequences of anger. So he asked the boy to remove all the nails from the fence. The boy found it very difficult to do but finally he removed all the nails from the fence. Then both father and son went to inspect the fence. The farmer said “you might have removed the nails, but the scar is left behind. In the same way, as time goes by you may forgive someone or may be even forget, but the scar of your words has left its scar on them for ever”.

So you see anger vented leaves behind a dirty scar forever. You may later forgive someone and move on but your anger has made a dent on your self and your near and dear ones not to talk of your relationships. So let’s go one step down and get hold on our emotion called Anger. Let’s work on it from today. After all anger is like a charcoal burning that burns the person holding it rather than the person upon whom it is thrown, right folks?

Let me get to know my anger better, so I can talk about it tomorrow. Till then I ask you to be aware of your emotions especially anger…………

Wishing you all a peaceful life,
Revathi
