Stories from
THE MAHĀBHĀRATA
By admitting that we have made a mistake and repenting about it, we lose a quarter of the
sin, by promising to never do it again we lose another quarter, by deciding to do only good
things in the future we lose another quarter, and by starting to do that good thing we lose
the final quarter.
