-
I want to ask you a very simple question.
-
Are you a perfect person?
-
No.
-
Thank you.
-
Sir, are you a perfect person?
-
No.
-
Sir, are you a perfect person?
-
No, sir.
-
Are you a perfect person?
-
No, sir.
-
Are you a perfect person?
-
Not at all.
-
We are living in a world where there is
-
no such thing as a perfect relationship.
-
Why then do you see an imperfect person
-
moving with an imperfect person
-
and you expect perfect results?
-
It’s not in this world.
-
Why am I saying this?
-
Because it's common today among us -
-
when someone offends us,
-
you see the way people react.
-
People are shocked. People are surprised.
-
People are bewildered
-
as if they are the only one in this world
-
that has been wronged,
-
as if no one else in this world has been wronged,
-
as if they themselves
-
have never wronged anyone.
-
People of God - everyone has been wronged
-
and everyone gets it wrong.
-
That is the reason why
-
forgiveness is so important.
-
Because there's no such thing
-
as a perfect relationship.
-
What is happening today?
-
Today, when you insult me, I take offence.
-
‘How can he insult me!’
-
But me - I insult others.
-
When you embarrass me -
-
‘How can you embarrass me?
-
What is the meaning of this?’
-
You take offence - but you embarrass others.
-
This person - you lied against me.
-
How can you lie against me?
-
But you, if you check yourself,
-
you've lied against others.
-
Tell your neighbour,
-
‘I have no ground to hold offence against you.
-
You have no ground to hold offence against me.’
-
Settle your differences quickly.
-
You will receive in a moment
-
what you have been seeking for years
-
the moment you let go of offence.
