'In what words to tell
the taste of this compassion! If one may believe
the taste is like that of salty tears!'
That is why
it is a great misunderstanding to include the sentiment of peace (santa rasa) in that of compassion.
Jumping mode of upayoga (consciousness) like a canal is compassion!, And bright mode of upayoga like a river
is the sentiment of peace! The canal goes to a field and removing the heat gets dried up.
The river goes to the sea and leaving the path gets happy.
I will like to make the topic explicit further
the water becomes a bog
falling into the sand,
but,
change is not possible
in a piece of snow fallen into the
sand
as it lacks receptivity.
