The virtue of ‘Acceptance’ is one of the extremely needed divine virtue that can bring not only simplicity in our life, but it is also the foundation on which divine powers like power to tolerate, to accommodate, to face can be built.
Usually, most of the people think that to accept or to confess their mistakes will lead to degrade their image. But this is a big misconception. The reality is that Acceptance of the mistakes committed is also of the great acts of charity. It is said that ‘Truth is always victorious’; “Truthfulness is the main element of character.” When we confess our guilt, the power of truth within us will emerge and ‘truth’ has the power to make the person in front of us contented and docile.
Whenever the thought of ‘hatred’ springs up in our mind or if our heart doesn’t agree to accept someone’s nature, then we have to think a while, why Supreme Almighty is being called Ocean of Love and Mercy? It is because he accepted all of us along with our vicious sanskars, defects and weaknesses. He never hates anybody, instead he praises us and always tries to make us similar to him by showering all the treasures of His knowledge, powers and virtues. In order to be like him, we have to make our hearts big enough to accommodate everyone. Hence, the one who accepts others would contribute his best to establish ‘World Brotherhood’, that would enable her/him to be ‘Loved by self, Loved by God and Loved by others.’
