Newsletter 2002 “Discovery of our true being” February 2002 Wishing
all a very Happy Chinese New Year. How
can we achieve Forgiveness and Forgetting, what others have done to us?
Understanding
only comes when we have the “wisdom” to interpret knowledge
(knowledge are the millions of information which we are exposed to, eg. Reading,
observing, feeling etc). One of the
simplest and easiest ways to gain access to wisdom is via “meditation”. How does understanding leads to forgivenss and
forgetting? We have an upper hand when we “know” why a
person do what they do, because of this knowing, we will be able to forgive
their action and because we wish for peace, we will “forget” the event that
transpired. Example, when a child killed its father.
Our first reaction would be to condemn the child and wish to judge the
child to death to teach the child a lesson.
Yes, the child behaved badly, yet when we “understand” why the child
kill, we will know to “forgive” first.
Lets say the child killed the father because the father daily physically
attacked the mother and nearly killed the mother (which we did not see or know
of when we pass the initial judgement on the child), at the same time, he goes
out nightly to rape women and kill others for fun (which we did not know but the
child knows). What is your reaction now? We can now “find in our hearts” to “forgive”
the child. What the child did was
not excusable, but we can see how we can now forgive the child for what the
child did. How can we forget the child for the event of
“killing the father”? We may or we may not depending on our objective.
If our objective is for “peace and love” we will “find in our
hearts” to forget the event, for the child helped to prevent other killings
and raping and hurting of the child’s mother. This is an example, it is an extreme example, yet
we can see how by understanding, we “may” forgive and forget an event for
the unity of the world towards Peace and Love.
This does not mean that I agree with the action of the child, but the
event have already happened, what are we to do? Of cause it is our duty to educate the children
of the world to “RESPECT” others and “ACCEPT” others as they are, learn
to understand instead of acting on impulse and destroy. The whole objective of this month’s Newsletter is
to illustrate the POWER of UNDERSTANDING. Most people are very “KNOWLEDGEABLE” but they
lack “UNDERSTANDING” which comes with WISDOM. You
know that they are knowledgeable because they “quote” from the past masters
but they still “act” like someone without wisdom, because their ways of
action is still heading towards “destruction” and dis-harmony instead of for
Peace and Love of the whole society as one. Love is a very POWERFUL element. Love can heal all illness, Love and bring forgiveness, Love can bring wisdom to understand. Love is GOD’s POWER. Give
LOVE a try, by trying out P.A.F.F “Peace, Acceptance, Forgiveness,
Forgetting” Love always, Sister Bee. |
