Our aim in life must be to focus on & develop the wholesome side of the mind. To aid this, practising good qualities is essential. When you’re focused on good qualities, there is a flow of wholesome thoughts, and then that becomes the inclination of the mind.Developing compassion (Karuṇā in Pāli) as a quality is very beneficial and powerful, and is a very rare quality among people in the current era. The ability to understand someone’s grief, sadness or pain creates the tendency for one to help or comfort someone in need. This can directly lead to mental satisfaction and creates very good karma. With this compassion and the habit of only using pleasant and kind words, you can help others with broken hearts.
