H: Can it be correct that God forgives sin?
Sai: With sincere repentance all sin can be washed away. God's grace responds. If it is His wish to forgive, nothing can stand in the way. All karma is cancelled out. At the root of all spiritual action -which is without reaction - is the seed of love. If the seed be nourished, it will grow as the tree grows, and all things of value automatically come form that tree of love. Regardless of the sins of the past, if there is deep repentance and love of God, the sins are washed out and the nature purified. To fear otherwise is weakness. God has infinite compassion. Seek His love and forgiveness follows.
