Kanha gives us compassion
Do you feel hurt when your loved ones are hurt or humiliated or made to feel badly? Of course you do. That is compassion. However, we also feel hurt, angry or upset when we see strangers hurt or treated badly. That is also compassion. Why did Kanha give us compassion? So that we too would understand others and their feelings. So that we would see that those we love and even strangers, should be treated with respect, love, and understanding. Kanha wants us to care for all living beings and so He gave us compassion so that we would feel upset when wrong is done to them. Kanha wants us to care for others, it is a part of being human.
What if we feel little compassion? Something must have happened to upset us in the past and perhaps we cannot even remember it happening. But, when such things happen we should look inside ourselves and ask Kanha to help us to understand others and to become more compassionate. It is something that we can practice. But for some persons it just comes naturally. We need to understand than Kanha wants us to be good to others and He wants us to have love in our hearts as the most important emotion instead of anything else.
Jai Shri Krishna!
