Why should I forgive someone instead of paying them back for what they did?
Forgive, and Thakur Ji takes over the revenge
When someone does wrong to you and you forgive them, the responsibility of taking revenge becomes Thakur Ji's (Bhagwan Krishna). The scriptures say forgiveness befits the great, and that if anything in this world is the biggest punishment, it is forgiveness.
You forgive. Why is it the greatest punishment? Because when you forgive, Thakur Ji then takes your revenge and fulfils it.
