The wise person drops the entire situation, forgives, and forgets. It is said that the anger of a worldly person is like a line drawn on stone, while the anger of a wise person is like stirring water with a stick. Do you understand what this means? If you make a line on stone, it remains for a long, long time—perhaps forever. But if you strike water, it separates only for a moment before becoming whole again. Similarly, your anger should be only on the surface, not held in the heart. Then there is no problem to forgive and no problem to forget. The best technique for this is to think: "That was the situation then, but now it is gone. Why should I worry about it? Why should I be angry? Why should I suffer?" The time is gone. People have problems with their parents because when they were little, their parents were strict. "Go to sleep early. Don't eat too much sugar. Don't eat too much ice cream. Do this and that. Go and study. Learn." And you were angry with them. But now you are grown. Why are you still angry with your parents? It is gone. It is finished. Now, you yourself might wish to sleep earlier, but you cannot. You are free to eat as much ice cream as you like, but you cannot because you are diabetic. Now we understand that what our parents did for us was good. We are thankful for that. In certain situations, we have a saying in India: When a dog bites you, you cannot bite the dog back. What can you do? You do only one thing: in the future, you should be careful. Therefore, practice forgiveness from the heart. Use your knowledge and your wisdom. Forget it. Only the great ones can forgive and forget. The little ones cannot. An ordinary person cannot.
