"Compassion is the art of responding to each moment with awareness, where gentleness or fierceness is guided by the need to alleviate suffering."
According to Osho, compassion is a living, situational intelligence, not blind obedience to rules. In difficult moments it may look gentle or fierce—mercy that ends unbearable pain, restraint that forbids violence, or even force to protect peace. Your inner vision provides the motive; the outer act changes with circumstances to most reduce suffering.
