I agree that it is the neglect of the common welfare of the body-politic that escalates pain and suffering, as you say, “much darkness finds fertile ground.”

I believe we are at a point in our evolution where we are learning of our ” Onesphere” as you mentioned in a recent post. And yes we are each others teachers in this endeavor.

Thanks for your wisdom sharing here.

May the loving-kindness you extend out to the world be returned to you many thousand fold!

It’s interesting that I posted about compassion this week too. Altruistic behavior helps the person generating it, even if they’re suffering in that moment as well. We are part of One organism.

I agree Maithri is an amazing person, he offers so much warmth and love in his posts, a great poet and his words are deeply inspiring.

Indeed, those who give much of themselves to others are rich in spirit!

Thanks for your kind comment, your beautiful words.

Deep peace to you!

Likewise, I am bowing, deeply humbled to know you and to be able to share in the great work that you are doing in Swaziland in this small way.

Looking forward to hearing from you, your stories when you are in Africa.

My prayers and blessings are with you my friend!

Vinod

My heart brims over with love and gratitude for all that you are.

I am deeply humbled to call you my friend,

With reverent love to you and yours,

Maithri

Yes indeed, Maithri is a wonderful soul who walks the talk. I am so awed by his passion for life.

As you say,a compassionate act has the power to heal on so many levels, and has a ripple effect from one person to countless others.

Thank you fellow compassionate blogger, may your loving-kindness reach far and bring peace to many!

I am blessed to be part of this community of compassionate bloggers like Maithri and yourself.

There is much that we can do to lighten the hearts of readers through the written word, gentle reminders of what we all know on some level, of the inner beauty and joy that is the foundation of our beingness.

You say it so well, “If we all realize that compassion is a vital instrument, we can all take part in life’s most beautiful dance.” Indeed life is sweet when we are in passionate awareness of life.

Thanks for your kind comment, may the jewel of the heart’s compassion shine on you, my friend!

That is interesting information on scientific studies on the brains of the meditating monks. I think if our body chemistry is altered by meditating or other spiritual practices, then it is possible that a domino effect of changes in the body-mind can escalate the human evolutionary process of which the body, mind and spirit is all related. Then fate is also altered.

Thanks for dropping by, have a peaceful day!
