Spiritual Quotes On repentance

Whenever the memory of something [a fault or transgression] comes to mind, do pratikraman (repentance coupled with asking for forgiveness) for it. Whenever a desire arises, do pratyakhyan (avowal to not repeat the mistake) for it.

The one whose ‘alochana (confession of mistakes), pratikraman (asking for forgiveness) and pratyakhyan (avowal to never repeat the mistake)’ are true (done correctly), he is bound to attain the knowledge of the Self (attain self realization).

Is it atikraman [Hurtful karma] if we eat, cut our hair or brush our teeth? No, it is not like that. Anger-pride-deceit-greed is considered atikraman [Hurtful karma]. If you do pratikraman [Ask for forgiveness], they will all go away.

When you do pratikraman after conflict, the conflict is erased. When you give rise to new conflicts, the energies that had arisen will disappear again.
