What is compassion?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Compassion is passion transformed through consciousness, a flowering of love that arises when scattered desires are transcended and energy is mastered."
According to Osho, compassion is passion transformed through consciousness: transcending biological, unconscious drives to become a master of your energies. Through meditation, scattered desires cease wasting vitality; energy fills the inner being and overflows as love, sharing, and respect for others as ends in themselves. Compassion rises like a lotus—desireless, free, joyful.
Compassion happens when you wake up inside, stop being pushed by cravings, and your full, quiet heart naturally cares and gives.
