Swami Mukundananda
How does a saint show compassion towards people who wrong him?
The sadhu who asked for a change of heart
In a story, a sadhu refused when God offered to overturn the boat and drown everyone. He asked instead that their minds be turned so they too would become devotees. Forgiveness and compassion are the nature of saints.
The sadhu said, 'O Khuda, do not do this. If you want to turn something upside down, turn the intellect of these simple people around, so that they too become your devotees.' This is the saints' nature of forgiveness and compassion.
