Slandering is a grave sin

From rupy ji (applies to most of us)

Satnaam Ji Dandaut to All Ji

maha moorakh would like to openly confess that I have come to realize grave sins that I have been committing over the last few months

 Nindya (criticism, slander, denunciation) is born out of jealousy and prejudice. Jealousy is an element of the attachments. Nindya implies negative criticism with a view to demean somebody. Nindya implies criticising someone out of jealously and ill-will. Nindya implies negative and deliberate criticism of someone's deeds, character, lifestyle, conduct or other qualities. Nindya implies negatively debating one's supposed qualities or deeds, in one's presence or behind one's back. Nindya implies using foul language against someone, doing a bad turn to someone or thinking bad of someone. Every Nindak (one indulging in Nindya) finds enjoyment in Nindya. But one forgets that the pleasure of this enjoyment is not a sweet pleasure but acts as and only as, a poison. Nindya is a dangerous, destructive and lethal disease that destroys everything that one possesses. This disease, in one moment of Nindya, destroys all spiritual gains of a person. There is no way to rectify a deed of Nindya. A deed of Nindya must to be paid back with one's fate. The only way by which a Nindak may be absolved of the sin of one's conduct is by doing a penance for Nindya; and to beg forgiveness of the person, the subject of one's Nindya. If forgiven the Nindak averts the consequences of one's misdeed. Thus a Nindak has to carry the burden of the disastrous consequences of Nindya. Countless souls in the cosmos are busy in Nindya and are therefore carrying the burdens of Nindya on their heads. A Nindak bears the baleful burden of Nindya for several births to come. Such misdeeds cause a human being to face sufferings and distresses in life in the coming period.

According to this divine wisdom I am a slanderer.  I have debated, engaged in, conversed out loud and silently about others in a sangat and outside of sangat negatively and have criticized others deeds, character, lifestyle, conduct and other qualities.  I have spoken about people behind their backs and negatively to their face. I wish to acknowledge this grave sin for no reason other than a deep desire to only see the One,  the Truth, the Love, all.
It felt important to acknowledge this grave mistake openly in order to move forward on this path of Satnaam.

Moving forward, with the infinite grace and blessings by Sat Paar Braham Ji upon this Maha moorakh,  I will not be speaking about anyone with anyone. If I must say anything about any living creature all I have to say is Dhan Dhan as that is how I truly feel.

Please bless Maha moorakh to be the dust of all your Sat Charans.
