Difference Between Compassion and Pity.

It seems that compassion and pity are similar things. It's not exactly true. When we pity someone we humiliate this person, thinking he is so poor, unhappy or desperate, and we are all well, healthy, wealthy, etc. We try to teach the person, telling him what to do, trying to "help". In this moment we forget that on a soul level we all are equal. We forget that each person chooses his way and only he knows his way the best. In the Russian language the word "pity" means co-suffering. When we pity someone, we forget that God didn't create bad things, we submerge into another person's illusion of suffering. We share his suffering, multiplying it. It's impossible to take on somebody else's suffering, it's only possible to create new suffering inside of thyself: 

(-1)+(-1)=(-2)

And what is compassion? It's the memory of Truth and Love. When we are compassionate we don't lower ourself or others.  We remember the Truth - that only Love and Light are real. Interestingly enough, we learn suffering through our own suffering, and we learn compassion through suffering. Our own suffering or the suffering of another person is always unpleasant, because from a Spiritual point of view, it's an illusion. It's necessary to walk a spiritual path to learn, or rather remember compassion. The Russian word for compassion literally means "gentle heart". A compassionate person looks at life through the heart. And the heart always remembers the Truth and Love. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Through compassion one can reach Spiritual indifference. In Russian, the word indifference means "equal soul". Unfortunately, a small ego doesn't like it and tries to bring a person down, back into our Earth theater of suffering.

These were all theories, but what to do if a person who suffers is close to you? First and foremost you should remember that it is not your job to pull this person out of his suffering. Do not tell him what to do, do not lower yourself into his suffering. Simply ask, do you need help? Stay centered in your heart, your high energy in this situation is the best help.

One of the Laws of the Universe:

Do not steal, especially from yourself.

She is to be known

You couldn't fall
Upward,
So an angel fell
(Down)
For you
Was it your motivation,
Involvement in the work
That made her interested?
Or your look on that picture?
As if you've been searching
All your life
And finally have found

God knows

But she's here
Brown eyes
White wings
Long legs
She scares you
Those from far
Above and beyond
Usually do
Her friend
Archangel Gabriel
Set aside his trumpet
And whispered in your ear
The words only you can understand -
Insatiable one,
She is to be known
Through ecstasy

Sometimes, when we look at the world, we forget ourselves. If we look through our ego it's granted - we forget ourselves and another person. We start judging, hate, have pity, fear, etc. The way out is inward.

Love note to god

I know God
Personally
I saw him once
In his old temple
Tall, busy with something
Walking by
Looking at me inattentively
Thinking that I am just
A little girl
Made me smile
Waved his hand
Almost dismissively
I thought
God with a god complex?
Oh boy
You are a full
Package.

Love,
J
