"Let us perceive forgiveness as it is."

Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world.  The strength of pardon is its honesty, which is so uncorrupted that it see illusions as illusions, not as truth.  There is a simple way to find the door to true forgiveness.  When we feel that we are tempted to accuse someone of sin in any form, do not allow our minds to dwell on what we think he/she did, for that is self-deception.  Ask instead, "Would we accuse ourselves of doing this?"

We must keep our minds as free of guilt and pain as God intended it to be, and as it is truth.  Lies would condemn.  In truth is innocence the only think there is.  Forgiveness stands between illusions and the truth; between the hell of guilt and Heaven's gate.  Forgiveness must be practiced, for the world cannot perceive its meaning, nor provide a guide to teach us its beneficence.

Let us perceive forgiveness as it is.  Would we accuse ourselves of doing wrong?  We would not lay this chain upon us.  No one is crucified alone, and yet no one can enter Heaven by themselves.  from "Underneath the Mango Tree." by BID.
