Question: What is the difference between attachment and compassion?

Sri Chinmoy: In attachment we act conditionally; in compassion we act unreservedly, eternally and unconditionally. Attachment is our self-imposed activity; whereas compassion is our God-inspired, God-revealing, and God-manifesting activity.

From:Sri Chinmoy,The significance of a smile, Agni Press, 1977
