Compassion is a kind
of healing agent which helps us to tolerate the hurt of seeing the truth. The
function of compassion in the Work is not to reduce hurt; its function is to
lead to the truth. Much of the time, the truth is painful or scary. Compassion
makes it possible to tolerate that hurt and fear. It is on the side of truth,
and helps us to persist in our search for truth. The truth will ultimately
dissolve the hurt, but this is a by-product. In fact, it is only when
compassion is present that people will allow themselves to see the truth. Where
there is no compassion there is no trust. ~ A.H. Almaas
Compassion

in that awareness. ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Compassion is the
ultimate source of success in life. ~ Dalai Lama
Competing and caring

gives you consistently more power. You are learning how to
use real power, the Divine power. The Divine power is always

that my Divine power of Love cannot be misused. I do not want any
harm to come from my Love -- only good. ~ Connie Huebner

Devotee:
I begin to ask myself `Who am I?', eliminate the body as not `I', the breath as
not `I', and I am not able to proceed further. Bhagavan: Well, that is as
far as the intellect can go. Your process is only intellectual. Indeed, all the
scriptures mention the process only to guide the seeker to know the truth. The
truth cannot be directly pointed out. Hence this intellectual process. You
se...e, the one who eliminates all the `not I' cannot eliminate the `I'. To say
`I am not this' or `I am that' there must be the `I'. This `I' is only the ego
or the `I'-thought. After the rising up of this `I'-thought, all other thoughts
arise. The `I'-thought is therefore the root-thought. If the root is pulled out
all others are at the same time uprooted. Therefore seek the root `I', question
yourself `Who am I?'. Find out its source, and then all these other ideas will
vanish and the pure Self will remain.
Devotee:
In the books it is stated that Bhagavan, is an ocean of Mercy. Is it a
fact? Bhagavan: Ocean? Ocean has a limit, a boundary (or coast line), but
the kripa (Grace) of Bhagavan has no such limit. It is limitless. It knows no
bounds.

Do good for others.
Help them when they need. Seeing them happy by your act is the best reward one
can get. Do anything to bring smiles on people face. In doing this you are

tell, "Everything’s gonna be all right. ~ Tejas Patel
Do just once what
others say you can't do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations
again. ~ James R. Cook

to make your path for you. It is YOUR road and yours alone. Others

past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present
moment. ~ Gautama Siddhartha

hopes for realization, but practice all your life. ~ Milarepa
Do not ever let
yourself feel you’ve arrived. The moment you feel you’ve arrived, penetrate
deeper, until there comes a time when you do not care whether you’ve arrived or
not. Then you have arrived, but you do not think you have arrived. You just do
not care. You haven’t the slightest interest in whether you have arrived
somewhere or not. That means the mind is finally quiet. As long as you care
whether you have arrived or not, you haven’t. You might have had some
experience, but the experience is not complete unless there is complete
innocence, the way a baby is innocent—without the vaguest idea about reality or
enlightenment. What’s that? I do not know—nothing, as far as I know. Innocence
is before the whole thing developed: pre-mind. ~ A.H. Almaas
Do not fear death,
fear the unlived life. ~ Natalie Babbitt
Do not fear. Look
beyond what's dying to what's being born. ~ Marianne Williamson
Do not feel lonely,
the entire universe is inside you. ~ Rumi
