To be patient, to forgive, to pardon — this is the art of Kshama. To restrain ourselves from intolerance and judgment of others — this is the art of Kshama. To remain serene, patient and understanding, especially when facing great adversity — this is the art of Kshama. Kshama cannot be learned through lectures, blogs or books. It must experienced, practiced as often as possible.
In Yoga, Kshama is considered among the most noble virtues. Without Kshama, humankind declines. With Kshama we evolve.
Be patient. Forgive. Understand. Accept. Pardon. Practice the Art of Kshama.
This is truly a “practice.” It takes practice to remain in the heart center, and retain awareness of the mind and ego’s responses to experience. It is not so much detachment as it is acceptance—an embracing of opposites as a unit–one side is not possible without the other. Only the mind and ego make distinctions within perfect unity.
