COMPASSION |

Wealth can be lost and got again, but goodness lost is an irrecoverable
loss.Can one who has no compassion in his heart - practise dharma through other
virtues? It is no more possible than that one who has no understanding can teach the true
Meaning of things. Men can see easily that clarity of understanding is essential for
acquiring knowledge, but they do not see what is equally true, viz., that compassion is
essential for goodness.
When a man is inclined to be cruel
to those over whom he has power, let him think of himself trembling before the
cruelty of stronger men. We cannot make men see the pain they cause to others except by
making them remember their own suffering at the hands of others. |
