Kindness

God is more tender to His servants than a mother to her nursing child.

The gods, with Brahma at their head, worship your benevolent self, O sinless one. You are everything. You are the creator of the gods and it was you who caused them to be created. Through your grace, the gods pass their time in joy and perfect fearlessness.

I have loved you with an everlasting love, and so I have drawn you to myself with loving kindness.

The life of a householder is not about indulging in lust and loose living. Instead, it's a life of selfless service, focused on Dharma, charity, goodness, kindness, and self-help, which benefits all of humanity.

All that brings happiness in life is achieved through the grace of the company of saints. The more we attend congregations, the more our life becomes enriched with saintly qualities. Our heart begins to absorb love and humility, which are the sources of all kinds of happiness.

True religion teaches us to come together, rise above all kinds of discrimination, and treat all beings as children of the same Supreme Father, serving and loving them selflessly and genuinely.

Visualise the Guru clad in white garments, anointed with white sandalwood and adorned with white flowers, ornamented with pearls, with joyful eyes, a gentle smile — a treasure-house overflowing with intense compassion — and with the divine Shakti seated upon the left side.

And don't interfere with forms, meditations, and imaginings, or any kind of reasoning, lest your soul becomes disturbed and loses its contentment and peace, leading to feelings of dislike and aversion.

If we remove the foundation of kindness, we do not have sympathy for one another, we do not try to uplift others, we should forget that we are virtuous or we are followers of a true religion. Only a person having the sacred feeling of love keeps the religion glowing. It is he who glorifies the religion.

The city dweller finds the keen edge of hospitality blunted by superabundance of strange contacts, while in the village the guest is welcomed as God.

The qualities of humanity are compassion, broadmindedness, humility, the feeling of sharing another's sorrow, the feeling of giving joy to others, the urge to resettle the displaced, and the effort to make the weeping laugh. These are the very human qualities, endowed with which a vastness was seen in the lives of saints and great souls.

If a man is carrying a fragrant flower in his hand, it does not give fragrance to the holder only; a person who happens to stand by his side also enjoys it. Similarly, a person who carries the spirit of love in his mind is not happy himself alone, he pleases everybody who comes near him.

A religion based on kindness, goodwill, devotion to God can never suffer or fall in disrepute. Ups and downs can come only in a religion based on artificialities, outer symbols and controversies regarding dress and diet. It is here that man clashes with man, man tortures man.

May the gracious Lord, whose name is the unfailing remedy for the disease of birth and death and alleviates the three kinds of terrible pain, remain propitious to me and you.

They are the source of kindness and other virtues. They feel sad when they see others in distress and are happy when they see others happy. They are calm, and they don't consider anyone as their enemy. They are free from pride and passion, and they have control over greed, anger, joy, and fear. They are gentle and compassionate towards those in distress, and they have pure devotion to me in their thoughts, words, and actions. They show respect to everyone and are humble themselves. I love such people as I love my own life. They have no personal interests, but they are dedicated to my name and are full of peace, calmness, humility, and good humor.

I have no doubts, nor have I ever known any dejection or infatuation, only your compassion and kindness.

The hero of Raghu's line removed the sorrow of all men and women by casting his benevolent gaze upon them.

Courage and resilience are the wheels of this chariot. Honesty and good behavior are its guiding principles. Additionally, strength, discernment, self-control, and kindness are the horses that pull the chariot, all connected by the bonds of forgiveness, compassion, and a balanced mind.

Lord Shiva continues, 'Lord Rama is so tender-hearted and compassionate that He bestows the highest state, the final beatitude, even on demons, simply because they think of Him, even if it's in a spirit of hostility.'

The hero of the Raghu dynasty is extremely gentle by nature, even though he is the lord of the entire universe.
