Sadhguru
Does being compassionate mean I have to be meek and gentle all the time?
Compassion need not be meek
Compassion does not have to be meek. Tremendous strength need not come at the expense of tenderness.
Even when Linga Bhairavi was manifested, she was made wild and fiery, yet fiercely compassionate. These qualities are not contradictory. Compassion does not have to be meek, and great strength need not cost tenderness.
