In reality compassion is never willfully produced. Rather, it flows as a result of a fundamental recognition of Truth, and the embodiment of that recognition. As Dante said in The Divine Comedy, "Blessedness comes from seeing; not from loving, which comes later." See, and love flows. Released from the confines of the imaginary me, it cannot help but flood into the world, for it is the world.
And so my practice is clear: it is to get out of the way of Love. Seeing no one here, the gate opens for the movement of compassion, and I find no way top resist you, nothing with which to keep out the world.
