Certain
humiliations, errors and weaknesses are part and parcel of everyone's
life. What we need to do is to properly introspect and thoroughly
examine ourselves. While accepting our own failures and confessing
the mistakes committed by us, a sincere effort should be made to
amend ourselves. Simply because God did not punish us, it should
not be taken for granted that we did not make any mistake. Had we
been punished long time back, we would have been thrown into hell
by now. Those who fail to honestly correct their own errors, will
repeat the same with others.
Baba is an ocean of compassion. He would always provide an opportunity
to rectify ourselves. Circumstances may not always be under our
control. But we can regulate our behaviour. Hence we should strive
to correct our bad character and develop the good qualities in thoughts,
words and deeds. We should repent for our bad behaviour and beg
God to forgive us. The Merciful God conferred on us the power of
discretion and the capacity to appreciate selfless love. Despite
several short-comings in our character, God implanted in our mind
the thought of worshipping Him and the spiritual stamina to endure
sufferings and succeed in our spiritual endeavours.
