Page 11 - The Mother and Sri Aurobindo on Generosity

The passion of pity with its impure elements of

physical repulsion and emotional inability to bear the

suffering of others has to be rejected and replaced by

the higher divine compassion which sees, understands,

accepts the burden of others and is strong to help and

heal, not with self-will and revolt against the suffering

in the world and with ignorant accusation of the law of

things and their source, but with light and knowledge

and as an instrument of the Divine in its emergence.

- Sri Aurobindo,

CWSA 23: 353-354
