Forgive Others
Before you die, I request that you die now, just for a minute. Close your eyes and think about your funeral while you are on the bier with the procession group. In what state do you want to be after death? Be in that state now. Correct your mistakes. Improve your character. Ask forgiveness for your sins. Open a new page of good character and behavior. Wash hatred from your heart. Clean your conscience.
Let us die every day for only one minute – sixty seconds – so that we may reflect, repent and improve our deeds. If we live this minute every day, we will return to be upright, loving the good, useful to people, generous, mild- mannered and approachable. Whoever forgets death will live in forgetfulness, will not be watchful of his Lord, and will not be accountable to oneself.
How unfortunate are those who fill their hearts with rancor, hatred, and envy until they become ruins, inhabited by snakes and scorpions. We must have mercy on ourselves before having mercy on others from this destructive war inside us that does not benefit anyone.
Look at the flower and not at its thorn and
Watch the moon and do not be engrossed in the darkness.
But:
The eye denies the sunlight due to its sickness,
And the mouth denies the taste of water from its ailment.
