A feeling of self-affiction (suffering) produced in our heart, on seeing the various types of miseries and calamities suffered by other creatures of the universe is known as compassion. In this world, we see that some people suffer from physical ailments, some feel pangs of separation from friends and family and some are
afficted by other adverse circumstances.
On seeing these various creatures
suffering from sorrows as a result of their previous false actions, the
hearts of worthy persons are moved with compassion towards them and they try to dissipate their
sorrows by physical, mental, financial and verbal means. They try
to be helpful to these afficted souls in over- coming their sorrows.
They give food to relieve their
sufferings from hunger, give financial aid for their basic necessities, heal their sorrows by
soft, calming and sweet words and assist them to be free from physical
ailments by distributing the required medical aids and arranging the
necessary nursing care. It is the very nature of worthy persons
constantly to make efforts to remove the sorrows of human beings, animals and insects, being
inspired by their inner compassion.
