Wisdom on growth

I received this from a friend in India, credit goes to Gananathamritananda Swamiji of Virginia, USA:

We should not feel guilt about things we have done wrong. In reality, you are not the doer. So do some penance if necessary and leave the guilt. The Lord does not blame you or want for you to hold onto your suffering. There is no mistake on the path for a person who is eager to learn and grow. I myself have committed many, many mistakes. I have no right to judge you and others have no right to judge you and you also have no right to judge yourself. We must all strive to remain nonjudgmental. There is more going on in any particular situation than we could understand and so the best approach is to be nonjudgmental. If you cannot refrain from judging others, you know that those ones are your gurus. They have some important message for you about yourself. So pay careful attention and be thankful for the knowledge they are bringing to you.
