Chapter-16
TRUE DIGNITY
To be glad by seeing others happy is gentlemanliness; but seeing other's physical, mental, monetary or any kind of pain or suffering; and trying to alleviate it by all our energy is real sensitivity and benevolence.
49
The essential part of mercy and true compassion is that we should be helpful to other humans, animals, birds, insects and all living beings by sacrificing bodily-mentallymonetarily and self-enduring. By doing this, our heart becomes soft, melts with pity and makes us worthy to understand and adopt the higher values of life. Because of such good worthiness, all round benefit is gained and our life becomes successful.
