(Part D)
To forgive is to give something for. Give love, joy, peace and wisdom until there is no sting left in your mind. This is really the acid test of forgiveness. Let us suppose you had an abscess in your left jaw a year age, it was very painful. Ask yourself yourself if it painful now.The answer is in the negative. Likewise, if someone has hurt you, lied about you and vilified you, and said all manner of evil about you, is your thought about that person negative? Do you sizzle when that person comes into your mind? If so, the roots of hatred are still there playing havoc with you and your good.
The only way is to wither them with love by wishing for the person all the blessings of life until you meet the person in your mind, and you can sincerely react with a benediction of peace and good will. This is the meaning of forgive until seventy times seven.
