  expecting nothing in return.

  is the first to enjoy their fragrance,
  the person who offers compassion
  is the first to receive its blessing.
  Wherever a heart beats
  with compassion:
  God is there.

When we hate others, it is our own mind that becomes impure. Equality of vision is God.

• The essence of motherhood is not restricted to women who have given birth; it is a principle inherent in both women and men. It is an attitude of the mind. It is love - and that love is the very breath of life. No one would say, 'I will breathe only when I am with my family and friends; I won't breathe in front of my enemies.' Similarly, for those in whom motherhood has awakened, love and compassion for everyone are as much part of their being as breathing.
