Premanand Maharaj Ji
If I forgive someone, does that mean they escape the consequences of hurting me?
Your forgiveness does not cancel Bhagwan's punishment
If the person is worthy, forgive once and give a chance. Your forgiveness is a spiritual truth, yet the wrongdoer will still receive a punishment.
That is why we say: if the person is worthy of forgiveness, try forgiving once. This forgiveness is a spiritual truth, and if you forgive, he will still receive his punishment.
