Every relationship whether with family, friends, colleagues, or partners is built on one invisible foundation, that is trust. Yet, no relationship is completely free from misunderstandings, mistakes, or moments that leave us hurt. Specially in the present times when we want instant results and everything right at our hands, expectations naturally become high and communication that often happens through screens, causes more emotional wounds.Amid this,any people carry the pain of betrayal, broken promises, or harsh words for years, and because of those images and perspectives set in their minds their actions alo get impacted.BK Sister Shivani beautifully weighed in on this idea through her wise words.

Quote of the day
People may lie cheat or betray us If we have chosen to forgive them trust them as if nothing happened Faith that it will never repeat Never think or talk about it again Forgiveness does not mean I am giving you another chance It means I will empower you so that your wrong sanskar disappears
BK sister Shivani
What does the quote mean?
This quote by BK Sister Shivani explains through her quite that forgiveness as an act of inner strength rather than emotional weakness. According to the Brahma Kumaris philosophy, a sanskar refers to deeply rooted habits, impressions, or behavioural patterns that influence how people think and act. So the crux of the idea is responding with compassion instead of resentment as it can encourage positive change in another person.
Genuine forgiveness gives freedom
While we might think that forgiveness is simply about overlooking someone’s mistake. Instead, it suggests that genuine forgiveness frees both the person who was hurt and the person who caused the hurt from being trapped by the past.However, it is also important to understand that forgiveness and trust are not always the same. Forgiveness is a personal decision to let go of anger or the desire for revenge, while trust is rebuilt gradually through consistent actions and accountability.
