Jainism : Through Science very small degree and that is why he ordinarily thinks of his own pains and pleasures. He does not think of pains and pleasures of other living beings. That is why a poet says, "Miseries of the miserable, a happy man cannot understand. If he understands them fully miseries cannot subsist in the world."
But it is, this seed of compassion that sprouts up in the presence of congenial circumstances, atmosphere and inspiring forces and in course of time it blossoms and grows like a banyan tree and becomes powerful enough to do good to whole world of living beings.
