He was riding a bike in the wrong direction at 2 am. He was at high speed and a super expensive car came from another side, which was in the right direction. They had an accident and the rider blamed the driver for extracting money. The young boy stood his ground and said that he did not break any law. But the law favors the less fortunate and the young boy had to go through a lot of mental harassment. The rider received the money as a compensation and settled. But he knew it deeply what was the truth. He started building that guilt and started staying sick. Anything that happened in his family, he always felt, it was because of that. He was mentally harassing himself now. Every second of the day, he felt bad. When he had an opportunity, he was clouded by greed but now, when the greed was satisfied, he could see what he had done, and he could not live with that. He called up that young boy, accepted his wrong doings, started returning that money and also started making donations to help poor children. It was then he started feeling peaceful.
We can never live with the wrongs we have done. Especially if they have happened in our full awareness. We all go through the test of times. We all need to make the right choice irrespective of the short term gain. Yes, that gain which is gained after a wrong doing is always very short term. In long term, it would always have very bad effects. Karma will call and drop in. We need to make a decision, which makes us progress towards light and be better. If we have to live with guilt, it will kill us. Guilt is destructive. So take the truthful steps. Do the right things.
