In the depths of the human condition, in the total acceptance of your humanity lies the ocean of divinity. The clear sky, the pure waters are not far away but in the middle of the struggle of human life. The yogis say, "The lotus grows in the mud." This great compassion comes when one acknowledges one's human condition, faults and failings, and learns to love greatly one's own humanity, even one's weaknesses and failings.
When one can have great compassion for oneself, one learns compassion for others. When sadhakas come together, these struggles come too, but they are part and parcel of the path and development of human kindness. Be kind to yourselves and to one another.
