Grievance As An Egoic Block
- Grievances are internal dark spots that block consciousness and strengthen the ego.
- Even one surviving grievance can prevent full awakening by feeding the ego.
Forgiveness From The Deeper Self
- True forgiveness arises from sensing the deeper, untouchable essence of who you are.
- Forgiveness cannot be manufactured mentally; it springs spontaneously from presence.
Observe Guilt, Then Go Deep
