Chapter 5 Compassion
QUOTE: DALAI LAMA
“If you want others to be happy, practice
Compassion. If you want to be happy,
Practice compassion.”
AWAKENING FOR OTHERS
Any given emotional confusion
May in time, seep deeper and deeper
Till once in surrender, you will know
The answer is clear
It’s not about me, but the other.
Their feelings are important
Their fears and needs are known to you
You seem a hologram in their mind
Awakenings are a blessing for other’s sake too.
Step by step you see the reason
For their every thought and cry
Like a mother feels her child’s pain
So you too, acknowledge their innermost sigh.
SHARING MY LOVE
By being patient with another
I am sharing my love with them
By not getting offended by another
I am sharing my love with them
To feel your neighbours cry of pain
To acknowledge your neighbours cry of pain
To heal your neighbours cry of pain
You are sharing your love with them
Look not within yourself, but within others
The Answer to your lack of love
Is THEIR LACK OF YOUR LOVE
By giving your love without conditions
You shall receive love, without conditions.
WE ARE ALL THE SAME
Love is joy
Be open, for it is never ending.
Feeling loved is in us all.
We must first search within
We are all the same
Love yourself- Each day
Look into the eyes of others
See Yourself.
In loving others
You love yourself.
SHARE YOUR GIFT
Focus on your strengths
They are what others can see
More than you can see
Set yourself up for Success
Learn to stop and recall past Lessons
Tread into the unknown with a sense of excitement
See a positive surprise.
What you have learnt in your life
Is now a gift to share and
Help Others.
HELP ME! HELP YOU!
When keeping up with others moods
You drain your own resources
In order to express yourself fully
You must lighten the moment
And the tension it forces.
Proceed with a humorous angle
See the irony of the battle
Be sure not to give in to your ego
Whose job it is, to shake your pride
To the point of no settle
Speak your truth without anger
Express your interest to help them
It’s your time to soothe their wounds
Focus on their needs and yours shall come.
MY ABOVE POEMS ARE Just for you all….Love to you all
