Compassion, Trying, Quality
Jiddu Krishnamurti (2009). “The Pocket Krishnamurti”, p.53, Shambhala Publications

Compassion being action without motive, without self-interest, without any sense of fear, without any sense of pleasure.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Spiritual, Compassion, Self
"The Impossible Question". Book by Jiddu Krishnamurti, 1972.

How can one be compassionate if you belong to any religion, follow any guru, believe in something, believe in your scriptures, and so on, attached to a conclusion? When you accept your guru, you have come to a conclusion, or when you strongly believe in god or in a saviour, this or that, can there be compassion? You may do social work, help the poor out of pity, out of sympathy, out of charity, but is all that love and compassion?

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Believe, Compassion, Charity
