Universe does not judge us; only shows the results and lessons.

It presents us the possibilities of learning and hardening with reason-result rules. Compassion is to gain the understanding that we do our best within our limits of belief and capacity.

 

Look carefully around you when you go to the nature, when you reach the seas, forests, fields.

DID YOU NOTICE THAT HOW EVERYTHING IS SO LIVELY?

Expand your mind beyond these hills, mountains. Think about oceans, volcanoes, rocky places, huge mountains over and under the sea. All of them is alive. All of them is the flesh, blood and soul of World Mom.

If you were a bug and perched on an elephant, you would only see the hairy forest around you. But you would not have any idea about on what you perched. If you fly quite high, you will realize that you live on the skin of an alive being when you look down. This also happened to the astronaut who went to space. The astronauts who has left the world as a scientist and a pilot turned back as mystic because they saw the liveliness of a whole blue gray organism that lives and breaths. This vision brings modesty. And daily ordinary life receives a share from this respect, compassion.

We live on the skin of the world, cut its trees and fire, plunder the richness of the nature and in spite of these, we neither think about asking about permission from the World nor thanking. If you talk a bit with the World, if you know her heart... She understand you so deep that if you have touched a point of her compassion, you can not have prevented your tears dropping from your eyes. The World forgives us because she knows that we are her own part. We are still her part that learns and improves. I ask you, if the World forgives you, your faults, can’t you forgive yourself with the same compassion? And can’t you show the same compassion to the others?

YOU ALSO NEVER APPROACH YOURSELF WITH COMPASSION, DO YOU?

Here your starting point; you give the others as long as you give love and compassion to yourself.

It is time you see yourself and the others with a new aye. With an eye far away from judgements and expectations that seperates you from the world. We,all, our enemies, friends do our best we know in our own belief and capacity.

Mevlana says so; ‘’ There is a space beyond our ideas about right and wrong. I will meet you there. When the soul lies inter grasses, you will see that the world has no need for your right –wrong ideas.’’

Mevlana can say these because he knows the judgements are of human-product. He says that God is a term that offers learning facilities from our mistakes to improve and get matured, not to judge us. If you can accept a God who do not judge you, how can you judge the others?

OK , DO YOU SAY HOW I CAN LOOK AT CRUEL PEOPLE FULL OF VIOLENCE?

Compassion rule is not compulsory and conditional. We know that dicky and destructive people exist. This sick people give harm to the others,too. Compassion does not mean to give permission these people to continue their destructive behaviours or to harm you. It is necessary for some people to leave that society. But compassion can be shown without submiting to evil. You can feel compassion while you are fighting to the death.

BUT WHY SHOULD I SHOW COMPASSION TO BRUTAL PEOPLE? WHY SHOULD’NT I HATE THE PEOPLE WHO DESERVE HATE? THIS QUESTION STILL SEEMS TO BE UNANSWERED, DOESN’T IT?

This important question deserves a clear answer. And you should find the reply by yourself. But think about this: Hate and compassion are different energies. With which energy do you want to fill your world? But still you find hard to be compassionate to the racialists and the ones abusing the children. Anyway, nobody says that compassion is easy! But neither it is easy or hard, rule leads you to behave in accordance with love and compassion instead of hate and ignorence. In order to do this, an extensive understanding is needed. Be conscious that you live in a mystic universe. This understanding depth is flowing from intuional awareness to the natural intelligence of the universe.
Whether you gain this understanding with observation, whether with logic, whether with your religious beliefs, at last you will realize that only your teachers exist in the world, not your friends or enemies. In order to practice this rule, you can feel that one should have to be a holy person. Compassion rule requires to overcome our limited perspective with love. This can be more than we can handle. Be patient and tender. There are negative and positive ideas and senses of each of us in our minds and hearts, but you should not have to be a holy person. But instead of believing negative thoughts or showing reaction, allow them to be washed with love and understanding water of the compassion. Does it still sound so mystical? Do you remember a moment that you felt deceived, jealousy or anger, that you were in a severe argument in your life? Turn back to one of these moments. Feel the pain and anger. Now, think that the person you argue with in a moment of this severe dispute have suddenly put his hand over his heart, moan and died falling down. Now How much is your anger?What happened to your jeaolusy, anger, reaction and your pain? Your all of these feelings have disappeared, isn’t it so? Feeding the hungry person, forgiving the insult, loving your enemy are good virtues. But if you realize that the poorest of all beggars, the most cruel of all the guilties are in you as now happened. But if you realize that the most needy person for your compassion, the most needy enemy for being loved is yourself. What will happen then? Though you feed the hungry people, forgive the insults, even love your enemy, you can not forgive the things this time, then you can forgive yourself because you could not forgive these. Here, in this forgiving, you can find compassion that will heal the pain of being a human in this world.

Think that your friend, your lover, your enemy have died at the bottom of your feet in order to feel this kind of compassion at the moment when you need. Like one day, you will lie down at the bottom of the feet of the Soul. Then you will look at everything with a different eye. Because death is a superlative equalizer. Each of us will leave this world and leave our beloveds behind. Each of us have own hopes and hopelessnes; each of us have own dreams and losses. All of us are trying to do our best in the mystery called life without knowing why. Plato also meant this while saying ‘Be compassionate, everyone you face is struggling hard.’
