Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Namaste, Compassion O Compassion! More than the other loves of men, less than the High Indifference; Calmly standing by and waiting; years, centuries, millennia; Taking to Thyself the suffering of all; transforming toward Joy; With Light restraining Darkness; with good, evil; Refusing release while others are bound; melting differences; Accepting impurity, giving purity; Bound by no law, yet acquiescing in bondage; Available for all as the light of the sun, yet forced on no man against his will; Needing nought for Thyself, though giving to all in need; The Base of all hope for this humanity so low; Pure Radiance Divine. Sweet art Thou, unutterably sweet; melting within me all hardness; Stirring inclusion of the low as the high; the evil as the good; the weak as the strong; the unclean as the pure; the violent as the considerate; none left out; Awaking new understanding and patience beyond Time; Arousing forgetfulness of the petty in the grand sweep of the noble; Equalizing regard, yet exalting true worth; Reaching beyond all contradiction. To Thee I sing, glorious Spirit; grandest God mankind can know. by Franklin Merrell-Wolff 1887-1985, An American Sage of Vedanta Philosophy http://www.integralscience.org/gsc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
