🌸 What is Love and Compassion? | Meditation with Rishi 🌸
Namaste and welcome! It’s Rishi here from meditatewithrishi.com. In this video, we’re diving into the true meaning of love and compassion-concepts that, when fully understood, can completely transform the way we experience life.
At our core, love and compassion are our true nature. When we connect with these qualities within ourselves and see them in others, we can transform our relationships, overcome negative emotions like fear and anxiety, and find a deeper sense of harmony.
In this video, I explore: ✨ The Buddha's definitions of love and compassion:
Love is the wish to be happy.
Compassion is the wish not to suffer.
We can hold these feelings for ourselves, and we can hold them for others. But according to the Buddha’s teachings, the idea of "self" and "other" is an illusion. At the ultimate level, we are all one-one awareness expressing itself in many forms.
Just like the ocean creates waves as expressions of its beauty, our awareness manifests in all forms of life. While we appear as separate individuals, we share the same fundamental nature-the wish to be happy and free from suffering.
💡 The Problem
We forget this oneness and prioritize ourselves over others, or sometimes others over ourselves. Both extremes cause imbalance:
Self-cherishing leads to strained relationships where my happiness becomes more important than yours.
Self-neglect can lead to resentment and inner turmoil.
The solution lies in equalizing our understanding: recognizing both our own desire for happiness and that others share the same desire. When we balance these perspectives, we create harmony within ourselves and our relationships.
🧘‍♂️ The Solution: Meditation Meditation allows us to connect with our true nature-our natural mind. Starting with practices like awareness of breath and body (Shamatha), we rest in calm abiding. But there’s also a more direct way to nurture love and compassion: compassion meditation.
In the second part of this video, I’ll guide you through a meditation where we mentally recognize our wish to be happy and not suffer, and extend this recognition to others. From the food we eat to the actions we take, everything we do is an expression of love and compassion.

    Explaining the importance of gradual change helped me so much! Thank you. All I ever hear is “QUIT NOW” “STOP IMMEDIATELY because what you’re doing is sinful and God is ashamed of you for it!” And every time I tried to go cold turkey it was exhausting and mentally consuming and after a few days of it I can’t even focus and I’m irritable and unhappy and eventually just cave and fall back into the routine. But I’ve found when I gradually take bigger and bigger steps, going longer periods with what my body is comfortable with, it is SO MUCH more of a positive experience and actually goes successfully. Thank You so much!

    what you need in order to start Pranayama Sadhana is to go through Yama, Niyama and Asana Sadhana at least on an initiation level. This can take one or two years of daily practice (not on your Yoga-matt, but 24/7), depending on your consistency and your intensity. You don't need to master these practices, but you need to go through them to be safe. And you need to be able to sit stabil and comfortable for at least 1 hour. This is mandatory, and without this preparation, any attempt of doing Pranayama Sadhana is irresponsible and potentially dangerous. It is also advisable before beginning the practice to detox your body as much as you can by fasting, eating light food, having as much fresh air as possible, drink lot of water etc. for at least 2 weeks, and to prepare nadis by doing Hatha Yoga practice, or at least stretching exercises daily for at least 2 weeks. Pranayama Sadhana gives results - always. The question is - are they going to be the beginning of your ascent or your downfall. It is up to you. Do the necessary work before starting with Pranayama, do not rush it, enjoy the process, and the results will come to your advancement in a long journey yet ahead.

    You are referring to Karma and Jnana Yoga in your explanation of Samkhya. Merging back to Purusha brings you back to where you started to repeat the cycle of developing an individual 'Ego'. Whilst the Samkhya explains the fabric of creation, it does not provide the ultimate direction for our lives and that very 'Ego". Nevertheless, Bhakti Yoga on the other hand morphs an ego into the highest state of intelligence, navigating it to the The Eternal Source of the Energy and everything else there, or here may be. Principles assumed in Samkhya regarding Satvic food and Satvic mind are great resources compiled in Ayurveda and Yoga Sutras, to optimise this process whilst in the Human Body. Jai

    Desires are the root of suffering, yes. But is the solution to quit our desires? To me it seems more likely that suffering is a challenge for us to move ourselves for a good that we don't have yet. If desires are bad we are we given them?

    your channel is golden! ayurvedic counselor here. de-programming myself may be a lifelong process, and it's so nice to be able to relate. wasted lots of time looking for happiness in alcohol as well. when you begin to understand the impulses that are beneath behaviors, you see that the impulse (trying to attain happiness) is the same--it can be either misdirected or toward the bullseye--the spiritual path, the only sustainable one. thank you for your great work 🙏🏻
