Kshama or forgiveness is identified by the scriptures with truth, righteousness, knowledge, sacrifice and joy. Without fortitude man cannot be happy even for a kshasya (moment). It promotes divine qualities. It reveals inner Divinity. One has to perform spiritual practice to earn it and establish oneself in it. Nourish the idea that God is equally present in all, in spite of ridicule from the ignorant and sarcastic criticism from the blind or even praise from admirers. Do not mind them.

- Divine Discourse, October 6, 1981.

Loves lives by giving and forgiving. - Baba
