Spiritual Quotes On compassion

The worldly life relationships are that of selfishness. All relationships are relative (temporary). Only the relationship with the Gnani Purush [the enlightened one] is real. He has infinite compassion for you. He has become one with his soul [atma swaroop] and therefore he brings forth all your solutions (and liberates you).

Compassion is an ordinary intent that is felt for everywhere in this world and it is the intent that, ‘the whole world is trapped in worldly miseries; how can their miseries be alleviated?’

The One who does not become miserable upon seeing another’s misery is referred to as a vitaraag (free from attachment and abhorrence). The One who is vitaraag has compassion (karuna)! The one who feels pity for others can become miserable, the compassionate One would not do so. Pity (dayaa) is an attribute that is characterized by duality. Cruelty definitely exists on the other side of pity.

If someone were to maintain pity (dayaa) towards us, then we would feel belittled. Whereas with compassion (karuna), that would not be the case.
