Compassion

Compassion for life everywhere is not just a matter of being nice, sympathetic, and generous.

Compassion is what emerges from the ashes of Desire to Receive for the Self Alone, when, just as every being is God's business, every being becomes our business as well.

"We experience our thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest." Einstein once said. "It's a kind of optical delusion of consciousness."


— Rabbi Michael Berg -- p. 159-160 in ISBN 1-57189-242-7
