Compassion through Poetry.

39WCP. Odhisa-India

          Compassion as this year's motto will unite poets from different countries who will be responsible for shaping this feeling in their works, a feeling that every human being has in their interior and with them the literary word will guide and lead to a valuable awakening and progressive feeling to others, united in empathy, respect, humility and solidarity in -sim-pathya- according to the Greeks, meaning of two words in that "suffer together" and thus to expose the deep meaning of this feeling in this art is to recognize us by excellence "brothers of the world". Compassion is the love feeling par excellence and is a quality of the most evolved souls, some people have the Grace of having a natural goodness that does not demand any effort, but represents the minority. The rest of us have to do a great job.

          The level of evolution in the world forces us to generate a defensive system that protects us from harm and violence. It is to understand that violent people act out of ignorance for their lack of perception of Life from the belief of separateness and unconsciousness. In this case, we the artists can rescue them with the gift of the word and the true sense of Unity as a duty to transmit. There are people who believe they stand in the truth and ruthlessly judge the faults of other human beings; they believe that it is lawful to follow God while despising the brothers

          To become a compassionate person is necessary to know ourselves, to face our miseries with humility, to meet our shadow, to open up the burden of defects and virtues that we do not know we have. That is why it is said that the spiritual path begins in hell as in the Divine Comedy of Dante, we explore and we will find our ugliness, consequently the impact that this produces in us prepares for humility and thus we will discover the similar we all are, o­nly when we are able to enter those inner tunnels and see ourselves clearly, so that, the highest feelings arise: love and compassion.

          The perception or empathy towards other beings in indigence, in pain, in overflowing emotions, shows aspects of our own nature. We have all been in those places in o­ne way or another, so we can help because we were also helped by others who took a step forward.

When a meeting is held to help another person, it must be stripped of all ego, for the ego divides, and takes pride, feels important before others and falls into its own trap, divided from humanity and from its own God.

          Compassion as the key to Tibetan Buddhism is a highly valued sentiment. According to Chogyan Trungpa, "awakened mind and heart prepare to integrate into their being the absolute or ultimate bodhichitta that is the union of emptiness and compassion, the essential nature of the awakened mind."

           Although Aristotle said that compassion is to feel pity because of an evil in someone who does not deserve it or that it happens to o­neself or someone close to us. Since we were born the seeds of compassion are sown in our human nature. According to David Hume: "there is a certain benevolence, no matter how intimate it is breathed into our chest, a spark of friendship for the human race, a bit of dove interwoven in our configuration, together with the elements of the wolf and the snake," Jaques Rousseau also quotes : "Compassion is a natural feeling that, by moderating the virulent selfishness of the individual, contributes to the preservation of the species. This compassion urges us to go impulsively to help those who are in disgrace. “Compassion approaches the very center of the moral conscience that allows us to glimpse the self of the neighbor. More than a century ago the philosopher Josiah Royce rightly expressed the concept by saying: What is your neighbor? ... and he responds that the neighbor is: "a mass of states, experiences, thoughts and desires, as real as yourself, are you sure what it means? "This is the origin of a radical change in your behavior towards him." The compassionate response can be made with an open and helpful disposition, with presence or silence, helping to feel united with others and with hope.

          If we could symbolize compassion, it would be with the sun, the bright is in the nature of the sun, the sun shines without needing to fight, in the same way the compassion, when isremoving the veils and obstacles that prevent its manifestation, it is revealed as something natural and human. The awakened mind is the o­ne that becomes independent of the tyranny of the ego. In the Parable of the Prodigal Son, compassion is expressed in an exalted form: joy, celebration, generosity and silence.

          In the 14th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna expresses to Arjuna the following: "Harmonizing the body, the mind, the soul, attains the supreme bliss. Discover the being in all beings and all beings in the being. See that the whole is o­ne and o­ne that's it. Truly I tell you that I will never abandon or allow myself to be abandoned by whoever sees me in all things and sees all things in me. "

          Both, Judaism, Islam and Christianity have given much value to divine compassion or mercy. For Sufism, the real name of God is Rahman, the Merciful. For Christianity, compassion or being merciful is o­ne of the main divine attributes.

          The use of language and its effects o­n experiences are intensively tested in these Congresses to the rhythm of the languages ​​of the world that trigger the awareness of new knowledge. According to studies o­n learning, there is an intercultural empathy to improve the self-consciousness and the critical awareness of the own interaction style, the way in which each o­ne is conditioned by the own cultural antecedents and thus be able to promote, through this art, a vision of global culture helping to abolish racism and differences to deprogram violence and promote the peaceful cultural union of peoples.
