One gentleman came over. He wanted revenge. After he had spoken and I felt his anger was settled a little, I asked him why he wanted revenge from his business partner. He said that to feel peaceful. Made me wonder if that’s the way. I saw an old scar on his hand which had healed completely. I asked him how did he get this and does it still hurt? He smiled and said that when he was small he had fallen from the bench and he had a pretty big wound. For few days he could not even goto school. his mother used to take care of him really well, apply medicine and after few days when he was feeling better, he could go. Now, there is no pain but yes the scar is still there. So it was his mother’s care plus medicine that healed the scar. What if he would have continued going to school, keep sharpening the bench, keep poking that inside his wound, would he have healed and the answer was no. So what healed it was love and care. He was raising his eye brows because he knew what it meant.
It is there for any scar. If we keep poking it again and again, it will never be healed. We feel, revenge will heal the scar or the pain but how can it heal? It will just keep deepening the wound. It will make it so deep that the pain will reach to the soul. We need to start applying love on it and it will start getting healed eventually. This love comes from our loved ones, friends, near and dear ones. However, sometimes, this is not there. But we will always have someone. And if let’s say, there is no one, go and give it to someone. It’s more powerful than receiving. Give it to someone you need and God will love you back from all directions. This is the medicine for hurt not revenge. Guilt is also never a medicine. And revenge eventually takes to guilt which is again self destructive. The only way is love.
If you want to heal, you need to follow love.
