The third bhavana is the compassion on seeing someone in pain. This pain could be the pain of poverty, or could be due to disease and other problems. Having an understanding mind and feeling compassion helps one to achieve the steadiness of mind needed in the observance of the five basic vows.

The fourth bhavana- is one of neutrality and nonjudgement. There are instances when you may not meet pious people or those in pain, but you could meet someone who is instead arrogant or impolite. When this happens, one should not judge them but have a feeling of neutrality. Having a neutral attitude is not a weakness or a negative aspect, as this bhavana helps to conquer ego and anger
