The greatness of compassion
Compassion merges with the Lord,
Absolves sins, Destroys sorrow;
The person sees his own reflection all around (1)
Compassion increases virtue,
Virtue increases knowledge;
Knowledge visualises his true self;
Grants the state of liberation || (2)
Sankara sings:
Compassion bestows fame, Eradicates conceit.
Grants the vision of self around,
It is the mine of wealth of happiness (3)
Compassion knows enmity not,
Life entity - moving or others -Only friends;
Do not forget the merit, the mercy (4)
Mercy in the heart, The lord is kind.
Happy in life, Feels fulfilled. (5)
Removes the blemishes;
Makes it transparent,
The character nobler. (6)
The sentiment of mercy
Expresses in the heart ;
He is delivered from the bondage -
Of the life - birth and death. (7)
Be kind, first to yourself, then to others,
Improve your conduct, then make all others happy (8)
Mercy, the expression of the Lord;
Mercy, the seed of the cosmic being;
By the grace of the Guru,
Regain your self - the merciful self (9)
Mercy, the expression of truth,
The source of virtue;
Keep it in your heart
Knowledge will dawn upon you.(10)
