Adiyen "Forgiveness" in Sanskrit is ksha-maa - ksha meaning to decrease and maa meaning to measure. When we forgive someone, it is not for their sake but for ours. As long as we do not forgive wrongs and offences committed against us we remain connected to that person karmically - there is a "runa-anubandha". When we forgive, we decrease the measure of our connection with that individual and so liberating ourselves from karmic connection and future suffering. So forgiving necessarily is accompanied by forgetting! Dasoham Sri Ram
