the evil deeds, will be cleaned without tears. Gurudev, you are telling "don't cry” but what should I do? Tears are flowing over & again from my eyes. Gurudev! Please help to apply the soap of repentance on my soul so as to make my heart & soul pure.
I didn't keep any limits at beating other people as well as my wife & children by getting angry over triffle matters. I never conveyed Micchami dukkadam with the good & lovely feeling & if I did so, it was just a formality. I nurtured hatred for them within my heart and continued their resentment. I wished to ruin them. I didn't keep any limits at misbehaving my neighbours. What will my destiny be? O Gurdev! I was the statue of pride. I couldn't control my anger if my name was not announced in the meeting where other's names were mentioned. I was also ready to ruin the gathering even if it were a religious one. Oh! Gurudev, Now, it's too much of my deeds. I considered myself intelligent in cheating others by adopting tactics and I held self pride for not being caught red-handed while doing so. In fact, I myself have cheated my soul. What should I do to get rid of my sins? I wish to repent in your presence and purify myself.
Dear readers, this is just an outline
of some possible sins that may be commited. Everyone's life is unique in itself just as the imprints of thumb. One may have commited many other sins by means of computers, internet, blue films, video clipping, mobile phones; abroad journey, shooting and killing in computer games, eating uneatables, gambling, cricket betting, drinks, tobacco, F & O, stock marketing and the list is endless. You should write down the sins committed with the details regarding your age at that time, place, circumstances etc.
. Be not ashamed to confess that you have been in the wrong. It is but owning what you need not be ashamed of that you now have more sense than you had before, to see your error; more humility to acknowledge it, more grace to correct it.
