According to Osho, compassion is the purest, highest form of love—a spiritual contact that heals because all human illness and misery spring from lovelessness. Compassion is love refined into prayer or meditation, the highest energy. Unlike sex, it never uses another; it honors personhood and freedom. Through compassion we share our being, awaken the soul beyond body and mind, and become truly therapeutic to ourselves and others.
Compassion is loving so purely that you don’t use anyone—including yourself—and this gentle love heals and lets your real self shine.
