"compassion"

Means to wish everyone to be free from false identifications and, if possible, to help in this, but not intrusively. Compassion must come from satya.

Compassion towards all people and other creatures in distress. Expression of sympathy, compassion for the calamities and difficulties of another person as their own and the inner urge to render real assistance in the elimination of adversity, to restore happiness and peace in life. The practitioner must cultivate a universal disposition, a sense of unity and a willingness to serve all.
