Uttaradhyayana 29.17

We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

The disciples of Gotama are always well awake, and their mind day and night always delights in compassion.

And a stranger shalt thou not oppress; for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

The Master said, "He who requires much from himself and little from others, will keep himself from being the object of resentment."

One who is not affected by pleasure or pain, who looks upon friend and enemy alike - says Nanak, listen, mind: know that such a person is liberated.

Thou hast come to draw men to union with me, / Not to drive them far away from me. / So far as possible, engage not in dissevering; / 'The thing most repugnant to me is divorce.' …

That devotee of mine, who hates no being, who is friendly and compassionate, who is free from egoism, and from (the idea that this or that is) mine, to whom happiness and misery are alike, who is forgiving, contented, constantly devoted, self-restrained, and firm in his determinations, and whose mind and understanding are devoted to me, he is dear to me.
