Real compassion is not emotional. Real compassion is based on the experience that all beings, which might appear separate, are actually a part of my own body, and I am a part of the body of the universe. We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
KRISHNA DASPractice is not about how you feel while you are doing it. You are planting seeds.
