________________ Repentance is done in the presence of the soul and confession is done before your Guru. Now what is Garha? What is Garihami? Garha means internal hatred towards sins... decrial of the sins! "Hatred" is to feel, "I cannot do this." What I did was wrong and now I will never do it. I would never commit the same mistake again. This resolution is Garha! Once we develop the feeling of hatred towards the sins...once we dislike it...we will surely never develop the feeling ofliking it! Internal hatred for sins! Internal contempt for sins! Internal aversion for sins! A constant thought and belief that, to commit sin is wrong, and then in the long run experiencing heartfelt disgust for sins is called Garha! We bathe everyday and later we perform pratikraman for the violence committed towards numerous lives in water, while taking a bath. But have we ever felt hatred for bathing? Have we ever disliked bathing? We definitely do Aalochana but we have not yet felt disgust for bathing. Jyan sudhi Alochana ane Ninda thaii gaya pachi ghrina
