Forgiveness is a virtue, forgiveness is a sacrifice, forgiveness is the Vedas, forgiveness is the Shruti.

The root cause of a person's suffering is their pride. Even if someone makes a sacrifice, they can still get caught up in their own pride. What is the point of such a sacrifice? It is pride, or ego, that should be sacrificed. That is where true happiness and bliss are found.

The second test of sincerity is that a person should be willing to sacrifice their own will for God's will, and should embrace what brings them closer to God and avoid what takes them away from God.

There are those who are so deeply in love with their possessions that they consider them to be their god, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for them when they see their possessions being harmed in some way.
