Compassion

Compassion, compassion.
My earth-compassion
Feeds my sacrifice-flames.
Compassion, compassion.
My Heaven-compassion
Feeds my satisfaction-sun.
Compassion, compassion.
My God-Compassion
Feeds my perfection-goal.

God’s Compassion Eye

God's Compassion-Eye
Makes me a millionaire.
My happiness-heart
Makes God a multi-millionaire.

Gods's Compassion

God's blessingful Compassion
Is determined to end
Even the last vestige
Of human pride.

Compassion - Eye

My Lord, connect my heart-wings
To Your Compassion-Eye-Light;
I shall fly and fly far beyond
The domain of ignorance-night.

Compassion

Compassion is God’s Blessing-Light.
Compassion is God’s Concern-Height.
Compassion is God’s Oneness-Delight.

The searching mind will eventually receive God’s Blessing-Light.
The aspiring heart spontaneously feels God’s Concern-Height.
The self-giving life sleeplessly enjoys God’s Oneness-Delight.

Compassion is God’s Love-Intensity for a God-seeker.
Compassion is God’s Fondness-Immensity for a God-seeker.
Compassion is wisdom.
Wisdom embodies peace, birthless and deathless.
He who has peace has everything, both here on earth and there in Heaven.

Compassion is kindness unfathomable. Once a son of the great philosopher William James went to visit his uncle, the great writer Henry James. The uncle gave his nephew three pieces of advice that he felt would be of tremendous help to him: the first important thing in life is kindness; the second important thing in life is kindness; and the third important thing in life is kindness.

Compassion is at once the seed and fruit of self-education. And it is from self-education that we can offer our wisdom-light to mankind. Wisdom-light is a self-giving flame that slowly, steadily and unerringly grows into a God-becoming sun.
