We should not think, ours is the Only Right Path


Having faith in God and moving on the right path, a person acquires merit. Even what we receive through practice should be deemed as if bestowed by the grace of God. We should never think that we alone are the great practitioners or noble persons. If we assume so, even little mistakes of others would appear magnified. The path of righteousness is paved with love and not through microscopic examination of other's mistakes. The quality of love is mercy. To err is human; to forgive is divine. We are able to live as good persons because Merciful God forgives our mistakes and puts us on the right path. We have to set right the mistakes of others and try to put them back on the right path. 


We come across instances where parents punish children or husband reprimands his wife for trivial issues. Instead, if we make them realize what their mistakes were, there is every possibility that they may mend their mistakes. Tears of repentance would wash their sins. "In fact, who are we to punish? What right do we have to punish others? Are there not pitfalls in the path we think as right?" The right thing is to give advice and persuade them with love. We, therefore, have to shed ego that we alone are great. We should always pray to Baba to forgive our mistakes done out of ignorance, enrich the quality of mercy and take us nearer to Him and make us dearer to Him.
