<----ACTION-WITHOUT-MOTIVE---->

---Krishnasurfi's thought for the day----> what does it mean to be compassionate?….not merely verbally, but actually to be compassionate?….is compassion a matter of habit, of thought, a matter of the mechanical repetition of being kind, polite, gentle, tender?….can the mind which is caught in the activity of thought with its conditioning, its mechanical repetition, be compassionate at all?….it can talk about it, it can encourage social reform, be kind to the poor heathen and so on; but is that compassion?…..when thought dictates, when thought is active, can there be any place for compassion?….compassion being action without motive, without self-interest, without any sense of fear, without any sense of pleasure……
