compassion has anything to do with sensuality?
He who says so
must be blind,
slave of sense-objects,
servant of senses and
serf of mana (desires), probably passion-blind!
Admitted
every substance
with respect to itself is karaka (doer),
but
with respect to others
it may be upakaraka (beneficent);
and
with respect to itself,
is karana (instrumental),
but
with respect to others
it may be upakarana (appliance)
too;
that is why...
