Osho examines the nature of compassion from a radically different perspective. He points out that "passion" lies at the root of the word, and then proceeds to challenge assumptions about what compassion really is. He shows how the path to authentic compassion arises from within, beginning with a deep acceptance and love of oneself. Only then, says Osho, does compassion flower into a healing force, rooted in the unconditional acceptance of the other as he or she is.

This mean speaks pure truth. If you ever read The Power of Now, this is what the book basically conveys. Live your life through consciousness, not a small fragmented being in an alienated Universe. Be aware, that's the secret. It's so simple our minds can't even handle it.

Who would've known the solution to the predicament of modern man could've been so simple. Without all those good people out there, just who would all the evil fight? Awareness concludes this struggle instantly, as if in a puff of smoke, the whole game disappears like it was an apparition. Let us love in the face of any imagined, terrible future. Every problem has a solution, in this moment alone.

True compassion is to love animals as much as humans and more.

@sdcorfu well, there is no point of ridiculing him. He just don't like it. we dont know his logic for not liking it. Maybe he has better understnding and dont agree with OSHO or this video has fundamentally shaken his beliefs and his pysche might start to explore the new horizions soon. In both cases, he moght be more aware than rest of us.
