The process of divine apology
THE PROCESS OF DIVINE APOLOGY
Hi to all! Getting back after some time to writing something that I feel very deeply about. The reason I am coming after such a gap is I could find nothing that resonated so deeply within me that I could put it down in writing to share with everyone. Something does not gel with me when I keep a target of writing 5 topics every week come what may. Churning out topics just for the heck of it sometimes does not seem to cut it. I cant tell you how much I wanted to put this topic on my site.
This topic is one thing that can sound really weird to some I warn you . It can cut ice with you only when you perhaps get to that point wherein you experience a sort of atonement feeling that wells up within you for the wrongs you feel you have done. But but but. My purpose here is not that namely in making you feel repentant. Not by a long shot.
Being a believer in spirituality something within me kept asking ‘is there a way to escape the horrendous effects of actions committed willfully knowing they were wrong?’ I did not get the insight then, but now I feel having grievously wronged somebody/something there are effects for those which I would never want to experience. I wanted to somehow seek not just forgiveness but also become free from the repercussions of my actions.
If you have read my previous articles I have gone on to show you through some references (bonafide ones) as to how our actions MUST have their effects. I also cited an authority who explained this very phenomenon thro metaphysics. So for those of you who find that I am talking of my hat, I humbly request you to at least go through

Now for the process:-
( Note :- though I have many many material desires, I am spiritually inclined. Being spiritual DOES NOT mean the absence of desires if that is what you are thinking. You can go after whatever it is that you want. There is something called a conscience within you that knows everything. You can justify your actions to the world but it knows what you are upto. This process need not be made public. Best of all it takes very little time and it does achieve results. Go thro it, I shall answer some FAQ’s that WOULD arise in ur mind in my next topic. )
Pratikraman Vidhi
(the process of divine apology)
In the live presence and witness of ——– (whichever god you believe deeply in) Oh pure Soul who are totally separate from the mind, speech, body, causal, effect and neutral karmas of ———- ( the person or thing you felt you have wronged)
I confess my mistakes (include name of the person/thing hurt by you (aalochana)**
I apologize and ask for forgiveness for these mistakes (pratikraman). I resolve firmly never to repeat these mistakes again (pratyakhyan).
Dearest ———— (your lord whom you have faith in)! Grant me the absolute energy not to commit such mistakes.
* Name of the person hurt by you.
**Recall the mistakes you committed with this person.
Pratikraman - Process of apology coupled with the remorse of any wrongdoing.
Aalochana - Heart-felt avowal and inner confession of ones guilt or misdeed.
Pratyakhyan- Sincere pledge of never slipping into the error or misdeed, once committed.
Now what exactly am I talking about? Why should you think that this gives results? What happens within when you do this? Why should you do this? These and other questions would be answered by me in my next article. You will appreciate this much better and get far better insights into this after my forthcoming article - THE SEQUEL
Love to you all
