Conscience

Holding firm the microscope of soul’s eye,
we looked at the cause of the pregnant pause,
that occurs just before childlike heart’s sigh,
each and every time when we break God’s laws,
counselling us till our consciousness thaws.
Within us immanent yet transcendent,
it’s that soft voice on which soul’s dependent,
steering us day and night, from wrong to right,
that we be at all times bliss resplendent,
radiating at all times, love and light.

No pain is worse than an agonizing remorse that requires atonement and penance. To put aside past mistakes and move forward with renewed wisdom, fueled by love's kindness. Your wise words have delighted and enriched me.

There's nothing worse that living with a guilty conscience, knowing we need to make amends for forgiveness.

Yes but at the same time, in the human experience we are bound to err. It’s ok as long as we learn, shrug off the past and move on, wiser and more love enabled. In forgiving others, we must also forgive ourself too.
