કરુણામાં વિશેષ મોલ ...

કરુણાને પ્રભુએ દીધો છૂટો દોર

"જા..જા...છૂટથી વરસ, વગર કોર"

પ્રેમથી યે અદકેરો છલોછલ સ્તોત્ર 

પ્રભુએ મૂક્યો કરુણામાં વિશેષ મોલ..

વિહીન માફી, માંગણી કે તોલમોલ

કરુણાને ભાગે આવ્યો મુક્ત ભંડોળ...

પ્રભુ સ્વભાવનો ટુકડો ઓળઘોળ 

બિનશરતી વરસતો, સંવર્ધક ધોધ...

ન સમાધાનની ન ઊંડે છૂપો તોર!

કરુણા તો વહવી, પ્રેમથી વરસવી ચોકોર...

જય હો પ્રભુ...

સાદર...

“This compassion observes with an eye of love and wisdom and calm strength the battle and the struggle, the strength and weakness of man, his virtues and sins, his joy and suffering, his knowledge and his ignorance, his wisdom and his folly, his aspiration and his failure and it enters into it all to help and to heal. In the saint and philanthropist it may cast itself into the mould of a plenitude of love or charity; in the thinker and hero it assumes the largeness and the force of a helpful wisdom and strength. It is this compassion in the Aryan fighter, the soul of his chivalry, which will not break the bruised reed, but helps and protects the weak and the oppressed and the wounded and the fallen. But it is also the divine compassion that smites down the strong tyrant and the confident oppressor, not in wrath and with hatred,–for these are not the high divine qualities, the wrath of God against the sinner, God’s hatred of the wicked are the fables of half-enlightened creeds, as much a fable as the eternal torture of the Hells they have invented,–but, as the old Indian spirituality clearly saw, with as much love and compassion for the strong Titan erring by his strength and slain for his sins as for the sufferer and the oppressed who have to be saved from his violence and injustice.”

* Sri Aurobindo, Essays on the Gita, First Series, Chapter 7, The Creed of the Aryan Fighter, pp. 53-54

“Love alone can overcome hate and violence.
Let the divine compassion express itself through you always and in all circumstances.
The divine compassion reaches out not only to the one who is eaten but also to the one who eats, not only to the one who is tortured but also the one who tortures.”

* Words of The Mother – II

A deep of compassion, a hushed sanctuary, Her inward help unbarred a gate in heaven;
Love in her was wider than the universe,
The whole world could take refuge in her single heart.

* Savitri

BOOK I: The Book of Beginnings 15

Thy love shall be the bond of humankind,
Compassion the bright key of Nature's acts:
Misery shall pass abolished from the earth;
The world shall be freed from the anger of the Beast,
From the cruelty of the Titan and his pain.
There shall be peace and joy for ever more.

* Savitri
