““Empathy of any kind is reactionary and there can never be pure empathy. Empathy is a relative thing. You should not have empathy; just have Pure Love (shuddha-prem). ‘You and I are one’ – keep it this way. Pure love is such a thing that it is not “effective” towards anyone. Empathy is inanimate, that is why it becomes “effective”. Pure love is animate. It is “uneffective”.””
