Prayer for forgiveness is also for yourself. I should have nothing to do with it. If you can conserve the bhava of the power of my consciousness (if any by the grace of God) in your heart like a miser at every moment with care and can make it alive, creative, progressive and put it in action, not only mind but nobody can defeat you; know with certainty. It also certain that any offensive words from the relatives cannot produce sentient reaction within you and you can kind of float above the worldly reactions in spite of being and living in the world.
Take lots of care to remind yourself to do naan-smaran of God continuously and do it with lot of devotion in your heart and with lots of concentration; also do it loudly. There is no need to give lots of thought to see if somebody feels good or bad about it. If somebody asks about it then you can tell them "I do it to prevent thoughts coming to my mind".
