Repentance

Repentance is feeling guilty about something.It is a very exemplary and important virtue which needs to be cultivated in everyone.If one has commited a great mistake, he should feel remorse about it but at the same time, it does not mean that he will keep repenting throughout his life for his mistake, instead it means that he will learn from  it and improve on that basis. As many of us have heard - One should learn from his mistakes and proceed forward in life.
There is a quote by Maharaj related to repentance " Regret or remorse of the wrong we have done should be in a positive spirit of changing and turning towards God with humility.The Absolute Truth can be perceived by a repentant heart."
