A yoga interpretation
First the quote
Si confiteamur peccata nostra: fidelis est, et justus, ut remittat nobis peccata nostra, et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate.
The reference – [https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=Faithful and just&version=VULGATE](https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=Faithful and just&version=VULGATE)
The KJV meaning
uIf we confess our sins, he is vfaithful and just to forgive us our sins and rto cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The literal translation from Latin. A few key words
Confiteamur – I acknowledge
Peccata nostra – our problem
Remittat abandons
Emundet cleanse
Iniquitate – not spiritual
So if you look at the original meaning from the Latin It could be translated as
if we acknowledge our problem
To whom?
He is faithful and just
Then
You will abandon your problem and be cleaned of all our lack of spirituality
So that is the literal translation
So many people go to confession. But when they last- did they leave all their unrighteousness? Did they become saints? If course not. People don’t change their habits
So my interpretation is as follows
We have a problem. Our problem is we love this world more than God. So the Bible says go to he who is faithful abs just. Who is that ?
That is the Holy Ghost – faithful, present since time Immemorial. Has never left God and is always just –
This Holy Ghost , Yogananda said is the sound Aum. It is heard in meditation. And when you go to him – hear it in meditation, then your problem of loving the world more than loving God goes away, and once you hear the Holy Ghost , the mind begins to give up its unrighteousness and increasingly turns to the love Of God
I could be wrong. But for me the love of God Is important. And I firmly believe that the love for the world – the satanic part of the world – With all the greed, vanity, lust for sex, money – is unrighteousness. That should be replaced with love for the Holy Ghost and God
