________________ SCHOOL OF TIONAL SELF STUDY IS THE SUPREME AUSTERITY ध्याय परम AN STUDIES The question is 'is anukampā possible?' The answer is yes; it is not only possible but it is found to be the expression of fundamental nature of human in their ideal state, perfect state. Emotions are subject to change often depending upon ever changing situations and circumstances. Anukampa is an attribute of self or soul, this knowledge and reason can overcome the emotional terrorism and hatred. Concern for other life forms is the underlying principle of anukampā. Anukampa is an expression of permanent pure soul, which implies consistency, and sustained impartiality overtime. This anukampā is natural not conditional, and represents pure soul, it cannot change in hatred or disliking. Lack of energy or fatigue may affect emotions, anger, hatred may manifest in place of love but anukampa is not subjective, it is universal and based on self-control, it cannot cause destruction, pain, and suffering. Hatred and happiness cannot live together. Happiness out of compassion is an attribute of soul; it does not include killing, harming and hatred. Page 68 of 385 STUDY NOTES version 5.0
