Dada Bhagwan says forgiveness comes naturally, without needing to be spoken. He teaches that true speech never mocks or harms others, and that keeping the mind quiet lets the inner self guide actions. When we use words wisely, they can support our deepest vows and help us grow beyond the belief that we are only a body.
