Re: Yama 7 - Daya, Compssion
Namaste All
Yama and Niyama, I feel are integral to Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, which has one line commandment in respect of interaction with the world and for relations.
I.33. maitr ī karuṇā mudito 'pekṣāṇāṁ sukha duḥkha puṇyā 'puṇya viṣayāṇāṁ bhāvanātaś citta prasādanaṁ
The following fourfold attitude to life’s vicissitudes and in all relationships, being conducive to peace of mind, enables one to overcome the distractions of the mind:
• Friendliness toward the happy,
• Compassionfor the unhappy,
• Delight in the virtuous and
• Disregard toward the wicked.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
