Why do you feel compassion for another? For at the deepest level of being, you are that other. This may seem incomprehensible until and unless you experience the deeper part of you that is beyond the story with your name on it. If you had no name, no history, no identification with the body, then you would flow and know yourself to be simply This.  And from This-state comes compassion, understanding, and the awareness that This-Awareness cannot be divided. And This, dear one, is Love. And it is for this reason YouAreSoVeryLoved.
