Unconditional Compassion Versus the Cosmic Law
They say that if you go high, higher, highest in consciousness, the first qualities that manifest are compassion, forgiveness and kindness. On the one hand, I have attained certain heights. On the other hand, is there a single day that I do not scold you if you are doing something wrong?Transformation is like that. I could have easily ignored the fact when you were doing something wrong, under the pretext of compassion or forgiveness. Under that pretext of compassion or forgiveness, I can very cleverly ignore what you are doing wrong: “Go your own way. If you are doing something wrong, the cosmic law is there to take care of you, so I do not have to worry about it.”
But I know that the cosmic law can be so severe when you do something wrong. The results can come after 20 years, 30 years. At that time we totally forget all the crimes that we committed 30 years earlier: “I am so innocent, I am so innocent. I have done nothing, nothing.” But 30 years ago, 40 years ago, or in a previous incarnation, I did something wrong. It may be all obliterated on the outer plane. But cosmic law does not forget or ignore anything, so retribution is there.
Again, if unconditional compassion or forgiveness descends from Above, then the cosmic law cannot do anything because the higher forces, highest forces can easily stop the cosmic law. I always tell the story, if a little boy, 6 or 7 years old, goes and beats another boy black and blue, and then that boy brings his brothers and others to beat the first one, who comes now to the rescue? The father – the father is so strong. The father does not allow his son to be beaten, although the father knows that his son was the culprit. The father is much stronger physically than those little boys, so they go away.
Here the father is the Supreme or the Divine Force, knowing well that the son has done something wrong. But again, you have to know why. Outwardly, you may say the father is doing something wrong. If his son started the problem with a wrong action, then his son should have been punished by the opponents. But the father says, “My son has done many, many good things for me, and he saved me from doing many, many things that I was going to do wrong. I looked at his face, and I did not do the wrong things. I owe a great deal to my son, so it is obligatory on my part to save my son.”
Now look how the cosmic law does not hold. Here the father is protecting the son because the father knows that in so many ways he was helped consciously and unconsciously by his own son.
