How is the situation of action and reaction going, culminatingexamination continues; if compassion or stiffness reflects in the eyes, becoming somewhat serious he will turn to weeping; if with the slight smile of the lips the cheeks become unsteady, vibrate, he will become uppish! This is the only reason that while suckling the child the mother covers his face by the fringe of her sari. That means the experience of the sentiment of peace occurs in joyful solitude, and in those moments the experiencer should be lonely...!
The conflux of one's coloured or colourless body with the inside of the 'pool' bereft of colour and wave is the accompaniment (sangata); this is the company of the sentiment of peace, this is its body!
The sentiment of compassion is the vitality of life
