The Need for Compassion

There are days darker than night and there are nights like never ending darkness. For this reason, we have to be aware of the need of solidarity towards everyone. But there is something important to consider, something that perhaps could be confused: Compassion is never pity.
It is a commitment of solidarity, fraternal understanding and unconditional Love. For example, a very dear person is hungry, thirsty, cold and you try to help, to attend to cooperate as a father to son , as a brother to another brother, as if he was somebody very close and it turns out that this somebody is the whole humanity. It is not only one person, but all the persons.
Therefore, Compassion does not have to do with the expressions of poor little one or what an unlucky person.
It is to share with happiness, compassion is to teach, is to take care, is to preserve and is to improve. But if my actions and service are based on pity or sorrow, then we would have to call pitiful love to love and is not like that.
We love, cooperate and do it because we are happy to give Love. And this makes us attentive, alert, vigilant and cautious.
We will find in the category of compassion, the purest virtue, the united solidarity, while discrimination, selfishness and preferences stay behind.
What is important here is that respect, opportunity and service are good and committed to give the best. What is the compensation ? The happiness of seeing a heart, a society, a universe. But compassion goes beyond because constant compassion strengthens, fills, purifies us and truly shows the way of Love to our fellow beings and of course is the path to receive the grace of God.
Nothing can develop if there is no compassion. It is synonymous of progress, balance, maturity, even of identity in compassion. And life deserves that we give everything for compassion because there we discover the whole, that is to say, truth and compassion are not only limited to man but they join us to the whole nature.
Compassion is the respect towards plants, animals, culture, the sensibility towards others which can be unknown to us, but which makes us know that everything contributes to a collective , integral good. How not to feel this commitment every day ? This even guide us because how not to cry with the one who cries? how not to laugh with the one who laughs ? How not to give our food and to share with the one in need whoever and wherever be ?
Don't we all share the same house, the same home which are earth and life ?
Compassion becomes stronger, rises and stands up as a titan opposed to any injustice. And also compassion is humble, magnificent and generous. What would happen to life without compassion ? In synthesis, Compassion is the practical, purest and most sacred science of Love.

Compassion. The Eternal and Plentiful River

Your eyes have always been filled with dreams and illusions. Is it possible that today, they look sad, desolated, filled with anguish of death? Your pain is mine. How not to feel what you feel, how not to experience what you are going through? Even though, we are different consciousness, the spiritual reason is the same.

There is no real distance between you and me only the skin separate us, but in truth, we both are spirits without form or condition, filled with Love, who does not stop and is more than science, is the Art of loving without limits or conditions. I walk with your steps and I die in your path. We are as the water and the wave. How to tell us apart? You are the eyes and I am the tears. You are the laugh and I am the lips. You are time and I am your present. If your hand is wounded, I bleed. If your heart stops beating, I die. If you live, I am happy for you and for me. There is no distinction, we are as the flower and the aroma. How to set us aside ? I love you because you are Love.
Compassion is an eternal and plentiful river and if I am as its water, you are as its rumor. I will not leave you and not because of position or control but because of infinite tenderness, that revives each new day and keeps on growing in a vast universe. There is no larger or higher power than this, even God Himself is eternal and pure compassion.
