First is knowledge then compassion; that is how disciplined live. How would an ignorant discriminate between good and evil?
- Dashavaikalik Sutra of Shayyambhava The greatness of the great is humility. The gain of gains is self-control. Only those rich are truly wealthy who relieve the need of their neighbours.
- Naladiyar Once we recognise all that we have in common with others, a feeling of compassion naturally arises and we can no longer treat people with such indifference. We more easily understand their problems, and as we learn how to heal ourselves, we begin to use our knowledge to help them as well.
