"True forgiveness is not a moral duty, but a fragrance of consciousness that arises from silent awareness and love."
According to Osho, don’t rush to ask forgiveness as a tactic while anger and ego are alive; simply witness them. Through silent awareness they lose energy, and genuine remorse and forgiveness arise on their own. If you actually harmed someone, apologize later from clarity and love, not guilt. True forgiveness is a fragrance of consciousness, not a moral duty.
Don’t say sorry just to cover your anger—first watch it calmly, then, if you hurt someone, say sorry honestly.
