    Compassion is the ultimate flowering of
    consciousness. It is passion released of all
    darkness, it is passion freed from all bondage, it
    is passion purified of all poison.

    Passion becomes compassion. Passion is the
    seed, compassion is the flowering of it.

    But compassion is not kindness, kindness is not
    compassion. Kindness is an ego-attitude, it
    strengthens your ego. When you are kind to
    somebody, you feel the upper hand.

    When you are kind to somebody there is a deep
    insult – you are humiliating the other, you are
    feeling happy in his humiliation. That's why
    kindness can never be forgiven.

    Whomsoever you have been kind to will remain
    somehow somewhere angry with you, is bound
    to take revenge. Because kindness is only on
    the surface as compassion, but deep in the
    depth it has nothing to do with compassion. It
    has other ulterior motives...
