Just words.

--

Compassion is an overflowing of the fullness within. I suspect the lack of compassion has to do with a feeling of emptiness.

The reality is that we are all totally full within. But the mind, when it is twisted, distracts us and we are oblivious to the fullness. We try to find mental substitutes but thoughts can never fulfill. It is only the realization of the Self, of our own true nature that is a nature of fullness that can do the job.

Thoughts are idols. Thoughts of gold, thoughts of God, magnificent thoughts, narcissistic thoughts, are all idols. Idols are distractions that keep us from realizing the truth.

Love too is an overflowing. Love is practicing union with that with which we are already One.

But these are all just words.
