5- THE REAL REPENTANCE
For sure, to be stationed in own-nature (svabhāva) is conduct (caritra); this conduct is 'dharma'. The Omniscient Lord has expounded that the dharma, or conduct, is the disposition of equanimity (sāmya). And, equanimity is the soul's nature when it is rid of delusion (moha) and agitation (ksobha).
Repentance (pratikramana) is atonement for the transgressions - faults, sins - committed in the past. Renunciation (pratyākhyāna) is desisting from future transgressions. Confession (ālocanā) is the realization of the present transgressions.
