The Lord has said in his sermons that there is no religion comparable to compassion; confer fearlessness as well as satisfaction to every living being in order to uproot the faults.
Satya Shil Ne Saghalän Dän, Dayä Hoine Rahyän Pramän; Daya Nahin To E Nahi Ek, Vinä Surya Kiran Nahi Dekh.
Truth, good character and all sorts of donations are worthwhile, if associated with compassion. As there is no ray of light in absence of sun, none of the above attributes would be helpful in absence of compassion
Pushpapankhadi Jyän Dubhäy, Jinvarani Tyän Nahi Ajnäy; Sarva Jivanun Ichchho Sukh, Mahävirani Shikshä Mukhya.
Even hurting a flower petal constitutes the violation of Lord's command, the main instruction of Lord Mahavir is to look to the well being of every living being.
Sarva Darshane E Updesh, E Ekänte, Nahin Vishesh; Sarva Prakäre Jinano Bodh, Daya Daya Nirmal Avirodh!.
Every religion endorses compassion, but to a limited extent, not totally, Lords' instructions stipulate it consistently in every respect.
E Bhavtärak Sundar Räh, Dharie Tarie Kari Utsäh; Dharma Sakalnun E Shubh Mool, E Van Dharma Sadā Pratikool.
That is the right path for crossing over the worldly sea; let us cross over by observing it enthusiastically. That is the basic of religion, everything else is of no avail in the absence thereof.
Tattvaroopahi E Olakhe, Te Jan Pahonche Shäshvat Sukhe; Shäntinäth Bhagvän Prasiddha, Räjchandra Karunäe Siddha.
One, who recognizes its essence, attains the eternal bliss. Shrimad says that this is evidenced by the life of Lord Shantinäth, who attained liberation by resorting to compassion.
Lesson 3: Miraculous impact of Karma
I am pointing out some queer phenomena by pondering over which you would gain faith in reincarnation.
One lies in the bed of roses, another does not get even a tattered quilt; one enjoys variety of tasty foods, another hardly gets even a piece of bread; one avails of unlimited wealth, another has to beg for a penny; one fascinates the mind with his sweet tongue, another stays a dumb; one adorns the body with fancy clothes, another does not get even the rags to cover his body in extreme cold; one is afflicted with disease, another is hale and hearty, one is intelligent, another is blunt; one has bright eyes, another is blind, lame or limp; one gets credit, another is discredited; one exercises authority over thousands, another is tossed everywhere; one radiates joy, another is repellant, one is equipped with the sound organs, another is handicapped; one does not have even the concept of poverty or distress, another sees no end to his misery; one lives for hundred years, another is aborted, still-born or dies soon after the birth.
No faces are identical; languages and conditions also differ. A fool on the throne is hailed with flattering words, while a learned may have to wander here and there. You can notice the various types of anomalies prevailing in the world. Does that make you think? If yes, let me know why that happens. Otherwise let me tell you that it is due to the wholesome or unwholesome Karma. Everyone has to wander in the worldly life
