You have to learn to function in bodhichitta, in buddha-consciousness, in all kinds of situations -- in the marketplace, in the monastery; with people in the crowd or alone in a cave; with friends or with enemies; with family, familiar people, and with strangers; with men and with animals. In all kinds of situations, in all kinds of challenges, you have to learn to function in compassion, in meditation -- because all these experiences of different situations will make your bodhichitta more and more ripe.
the idea of compassion is the most essential.
But you have to remember that by being compassionate you don't become higher;
otherwise you spoil the whole thing.
It becomes an ego trip.
Remember not to humiliate the other person by being compassionate;
otherwise you are not being compassionate, behind the words you are enjoying their
humiliation.
Osho
