Forgiveness is very important. It is Truth, it is Dharma, it is Veda, it is non-violence, it is happiness, and it is heaven itself. -

The Atma, by its very nature, is self-sufficient and full. No other spiritual discipline is needed to realise that state. Purity is our nature; self-sufficiency (paripurnata) is also the nature of our Self. Students should not ignore or forget this fact. Real education must arouse this faith and infuse the awareness of this fullness in every activity. This is the essential aim, the core of the right type of education. One other truth has to be kept in mind, more than anything else. For Indians (Bharathiyas), religion means experience, nothing less. Our position is that no achievement is worthwhile unless one earns it by one’s own efforts. Everything valuable must be cultivated by oneself. Divine grace awaits individual striving and spiritual practice (sadhana). The doctrines and directives of religion have to be assimilated by means of actual experience. The truth has to be identified; this is the very first step. The sooner we understand the truth, the sooner religious conflicts and credal dissensions will disappear.
