Compassion is the love one feels for all beings of the world and it is an attitude of equality – Sri Ramakrishna
The jiva is nothing but the embodiment of Satchidananda. But
since Maya, or ego, has created various upaadhis (masks of names and forms), he
has forgotten his real Self.
When one attains perfect knowledge, then one finds that
dying and killing are one and same thing, that is to say, both are unreal.
Remember that daya, compassion, and Maya attachment, are two
different things. Attachment means the feeling of ‘my-ness’ toward one’s
relatives…Compassion is the love one feels for all beings of the world. It is
an attitude of equality…But one thing should be remembered: Maya keeps us in
ignorance (of our divine nature) and entangles us in the world, whereas daya
makes our hearts pure and gradually unties our bonds and attachments.
Sri Ramakrishna
