MERITS OF EXCUSING



Wish to share this good Shloka No. 8 in Chapter 33 of Balakanda in Sri Valmeeki Ramayana:


Kshama danam, kShama satyam, kShama yajnashcha putrikAha|
KShama yashaha, kShama Dharmaha kShamayA viShThitam jagat||

This is a verse used by Kushanabha to his one hundred daughters, who had been de-shaped by Vayu.

Kshama or to pardon someone is like giving donation; it is truthfulness; it is equal to performing a Homa or Yajna; it is glory, culture; what is more, this entire universe stands on the quality of excusing.

It is a great statement and worth emulating. Isn't it?
