Love and compassion are natural expressions of the true self from "summary" of Be As You Are by Sri Ramana Maharshi
Love and compassion are not something that needs to be cultivated or acquired, for they are inherent qualities of our true nature. When we abide in the true self, these qualities naturally arise and flow effortlessly from within us. Just as a river naturally flows towards the ocean, love and compassion naturally emanate from the true self towards all beings. When we are identified with the ego, we are caught up in a web of selfish desires and fears, which cloud our true nature. In this state, we may try to act loving and compassionate towards others, but it is often driven by self-interest or a need for validation. True love and compassion, however, are selfless and unconditional, arising from a deep recognition of the interconnectedness of all beings. The true self is like a mirror that reflects the beauty and goodness of all that it encounters. When we are established in the true self, we see ourselves in others, and others in ourselves. This recognition of our shared essence naturally evokes feelings of love and compassion towards all beings, regardless of their actions or behaviors. It is important to remember that love and compassion do not imply weakness or passivity. In fact, true love and compassion arise from a place of inner strength and clarity. When we are rooted in the true self, we are able to act with wisdom and discernment, responding to situations with compassion and kindness, yet also with firmness and resolve when necessary.- Love and compassion are not something that we need to strive for or achieve. They are already present within us, waiting to be awakened and expressed. By turning inward and abiding in the true self, we can tap into the limitless reservoir of love and compassion that lies at the core of our being. It is through this realization that we come to embody the true essence of our existence.
