Two Important Things
Forget Two Things, Remember Two Things:
1. Anything bad anyone has done to you. To the extent you are willing to forgive, God will forgive. Forgiveness is a great virtue.
2. Any good that you have done to another. If we remember our good deeds, we become proud, and that ruins everything. We should think that we are only delivery persons, delivering the goods God wants us to deliver. Ultimately it’s all done by God.
We Get What We Give
We get what we give. If we give hatred we get that and if we give love we get that. If we give Krishna to others we get Krishna.
