Repent, Repair,Resume and Recreate.

 

Being human, we are conditioned by many factors like circumstances, tendencies, past birth Impressions and much more. So at times we err. Sometimes these errors are very expensive and may cost us grave losses. It could be money, reputation, property or much worse, relationships.
And then we are into the repenting mode.

Repentance cleanses us.
It also indicates that we have dropped our ego shield and bowed. Unconditional repentance humbles us. However one Must learn the lesson and not get into a guilt mode. Forgiving ourselves is as important as forgiving others.
Guilt does not lead to correction. It just creates another block.

Repair if you can.
Yes. We can do the damage control in most cases. As for relationships as these fall in the inner domain, seeking unconditional pardon helps.

My bad, I erred. I AM sorry. I seek your pardon.. .

We can try to restore the relationships by apologising. However, do not expect the other person to react as we want him/her to. Sometimes the other person doesn't want to forgive. Its their call. They have a right to carry their load. You are not going to pay for their excess Baggage charges. Are you?

You did what you could and now its time to move on. May be the expiry date of that relation had arrived.

Parting in such cases hurts, because we want to cling on. That is also being human. Time heals and the load lightens.

So

Resume and Recreate.

Every stumbling block has a lesson for us and we are free to walk without learning and we are free to keep stumbling.

The Masters say that this Earth is the Learning Ground (pruthvi ek pathshala) and we are sent again and again till we Learn thoroughly. Once  inside, there is no option of leaving half way. We have to finish, no matter how long it may take. Those who quit Studies and discontinue their journey have to start afresh and no one is spared. Graduate you have to, the contract says.

And in this pathshala what better teacher can there be, other than the Realised Master who teaches us to look within, learn our own lesson not from a book but in the Lab of the Heart and go on to Graduate.

Graduates don't go back to school but can further do their Masters.

Recreate.
Having learnt the lessons completely, you can recreate the magic for others.
Therein is the Free Will. 

Then Rest.
