00:00:00.459 --> 00:00:07.773
I had an experience
which was a very important.
2
00:00:07.798 --> 00:00:11.250
I'd like to tell you
a bit about that.
3
00:00:12.089 --> 00:00:13.766
When I was a young man,
4
00:00:13.791 --> 00:00:18.172
I was very much eager to do
something for my country
5
00:00:18.197 --> 00:00:21.336
because I thought
my country needed to change.
6
00:00:21.361 --> 00:00:25.564
So I met some people and these
people told me that's good.
7
00:00:25.589 --> 00:00:29.648
You are you have
a sense of responsibility
8
00:00:29.673 --> 00:00:33.477
but have you thought
first to change yourself.
9
00:00:33.502 --> 00:00:36.585
And I said how could that happen.
10
00:00:36.765 --> 00:00:41.881
And they told me, well what we
suggest is that you look at your life
11
00:00:41.906 --> 00:00:46.085
at the light of four moral standards:
12
00:00:46.437 --> 00:00:50.562
absolute honesty, absolute purity,
13
00:00:50.745 --> 00:00:54.141
absolute unselfishness,
and absolute love
14
00:00:54.287 --> 00:00:58.032
and see where in your
life you've failed
15
00:00:59.862 --> 00:01:03.133
towards any of these standards
16
00:01:03.173 --> 00:01:06.660
and then try to put that right.
17
00:01:07.396 --> 00:01:11.438
Well for a certain reason,
I accepted this challenge.
18
00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:17.008
And in a time,
a short time of reflection,
19
00:01:17.033 --> 00:01:21.266
I thought of four things which
needed to be put right in my life:
20
00:01:21.463 --> 00:01:23.762
my relation with my father
21
00:01:23.787 --> 00:01:28.678
because I did not have
a love for my father.
22
00:01:30.669 --> 00:01:34.230
The second thing is
my relation with my brother.
23
00:01:34.255 --> 00:01:37.035
I was jealous of my brother
and because of that
24
00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:41.703
we became like animals though
we were living in the same house.
25
00:01:41.841 --> 00:01:45.418
The third thing was about
the book which I had stolen.
26
00:01:45.833 --> 00:01:50.543
And the fourth thing was
about betraying some friends
27
00:01:50.568 --> 00:01:55.684
and they're trying to cover
this betrayal by lying.
28
00:01:57.151 --> 00:01:58.972
So that was not easy.
29
00:01:58.997 --> 00:02:03.924
It was quite difficult to go to
my father and my brother etc.
30
00:02:03.949 --> 00:02:07.347
and admit what has happened.
31
00:02:07.551 --> 00:02:15.033
In all honesty and say I'm sorry
and please forgive me for that
32
00:02:15.058 --> 00:02:17.752
or I apologize for this.
33
00:02:18.318 --> 00:02:20.307
But when I did that
34
00:02:21.698 --> 00:02:24.198
something extraordinary happened.
35
00:02:24.223 --> 00:02:28.448
I felt a great freedom
and great liberation
36
00:02:28.473 --> 00:02:31.589
and in the same time
a sense of healing
37
00:02:32.172 --> 00:02:37.596
and a sense of reconciliation.
I was deeply reconciled with myself.
38
00:02:38.617 --> 00:02:44.643
And the other thing which was
maybe the most important thing,
39
00:02:44.677 --> 00:02:47.677
I felt that this change,
this healing,
40
00:02:47.702 --> 00:02:52.285
I felt came from someone else.
41
00:02:52.310 --> 00:02:54.880
It's not me who had produced that.
42
00:02:55.036 --> 00:02:59.997
And for me at that time,
God became a living reality.
43
00:03:00.677 --> 00:03:06.703
And since then God has become
something central in my life.
