Consolation and Compassion.“My Lord, do I need both
Consolation and Compassion,
Or is one of the two enough?”
God's answer is:
“My son, you need both Consolation and Compassion.
You need Consolation from Me because
You are defeated in the battlefield of life.
You need Compassion to act as a divine hero
In the battlefield of life.
Also you need Compassion to act as a victor
Over the forces of failure.”
Sri Chinmoy, My Lord's Secrets revealed, Herder and Herder, 1971
