From the author: From the book “The Way of the Warrior of the Spirit or the Awakening of God” Many people confuse pity with true compassion. You can often hear the following words: “how I feel sorry for him,” “he needs pity.” Such pity comes from the individual’s perception of external reality, which in the individual’s consciousness bears “dark outlines.” First, we need to understand that everything that we see is a consequence of the content of a person’s inner world. The content of the inner world is always subjective, and most importantly, illusory. Secondly, a person has in his life what he “deserves”. The law of cause and effect is always immutable and we cannot beg. Subjective pity not only will not really help a person, but will also be harmful. You can console a person for a while, while indulging his unconscious actions, but such consolation is an external “powder” of internal problems. Pity can also provoke constant dissatisfaction with regard to the discrepancy between personal expectations and reality, and contribute, as often happens, to the search for those to blame. Thirdly, a person who feels sorry can identify with the problems of the sufferer, and this in turn not only strengthens the negative state of the one who seems to need pity, but also negatively affects the person who feels sorry. We can observe a certain category of people who “programmed” to receive pity from others. The state of the offended victim serves as another reason to receive attention from relatives and friends. Therefore, pity never helps, but only creates the illusion of help. The feeling of pity is embedded in the public consciousness due to human relationships based on selfish needs and expectations. You can “demand” pity for yourself or pity for others if you are immersed in the world of the personal self, which is in constant restlessness and pursuit of coming desires. The phenomenon of pity is especially widespread among people close and related to each other, and this is quite understandable - you always want to feel sorry for your child, husband, parents or friend. Many people think that, feeling pity, a person gives his love and care to another. This is wrong. There is no pity in love, and there cannot be, at least not in the love that comes from God. The love of God is impartial, because there are no “us” or “strangers” in it. It is this kind of love that a warrior strives for and “nurtures” it in his heart. Let us repeat once again that pity comes from a person’s ego and is also focused on the ego of the one who needs this pity. Pity not only paralyzes a person’s strength, but also blocks the internal reserves and will of the person to whom this pity is directed. Also, pity acts as the basis for the formation of internal weakness and lack of will. For a warrior, pity is poison, not only towards others, but also towards oneself. Initially, a warrior must eradicate self-pity. As soon as this happens, pity for others disappears. The warrior replaces pity with spiritual compassion. Spiritual compassion is based on the understanding that each person is fully responsible for his or her life. If there is interference in the fate of another person from a position of pity, then this only aggravates the situation, and also forms the karma of the one who is trying to “help”. Help out of pity is false help. Such pseudo help is focused on the person’s personality. “Saving” the illusory self harms the soul. Spiritual compassion is focused not on the individual, but on the soul. A person sometimes needs to go through the suffering and difficulties of life in order to gain the experience of the soul that gives wisdom. Spiritual compassion is not a sweet candy or a temporary painkiller, such as pity, but the acceptance of the divine will, and helping the soul to realize the inner light. Spiritual compassion carries dispassion and at the same time love and care, incomparable to those emotions that come from egoistic consciousness. A warrior helps the soul of another person to awaken and regain the original power of the One Spirit. A warrior helps others face any life/
