Forgiveness Is Required - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 22 min

Getting past mistakes and regrets that keep returning: shame and guilt as a child's stopgap toward wisdom, OM Japa and meditation clearing what remains, and forgiving oneself as readily as others. Also Tad James's view of the past as a storehouse of wisdom, not a torture chamber, and a spiritual-eye story showing the divine does not judge.
