That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me – with such a one I am in love.
There’s nothing more advanced than relating with others. There’s nothing more advanced than communication – compassionate communication.
I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.
If we only practice compassion at the mind level, we run a great risk of our compassion being just talk. As we know, talk is cheap. To develop true compassion we have to put our money where our mouth is.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
Many people ‘react’ and then ‘regret’. Learn therefore to ‘reflect’ and then ‘respond’.
