Travel in all the four quarters of the earth, you will find nothing (no true religion) anywhere. Whatever there is, is only here (i .e . in one 's own heart.)

God in the form of the saint, God in the form of the sinner, God in the form of the righteous, God in the form of the unrighteous.

The compassion that you see in the kindhearted is God's compassion. He has given it to them to protect the helpless.
