This path requires something more than a search for righteousness or peace. It requires the aspirant to make himself more sensitive to the sorrows and struggles of mankind, ignorance-born and karmically earned though they may be, to imbue himself with a wise, prudent, and balanced compassion. He must advance from an outwardly-compulsive goodness to an inwardly-natural goodness. Such a way of life, with its chained desires, holy communion, and sensitive compassion, gives any man a higher stature.
