Yogi tea bag quote:
“If you do anything out of sheer compassion, you will never be wrong.”
What a find the above quote was at the end of the string of
my Yogi tea bag. It helped to be reading
it as I was being berated. When I chose to
feel compassion for the other’s angst, I felt my hurt and ego soften. Even though I did not attempt to say anything
at the time, at least I did not escalate the encounter and I could embrace my
feeling of warmth toward the other and her pain.
So I looked in my heart for all others who I needed to
bestow with sheer compassion. Family
members, neighbors, and politicians all showed up. And as the poet Rumi says:
“Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in” for they
“…may be clearing you out for some new delight…because each has been sent as a
guide from beyond.”
I highly recommend sheer compassion the next time you feel a
personal affront.
What if we more often practiced sheer compassion when faced with personal affront?
