When
we have the compassion that comes from understanding how it is, we
don't lay a trip on anybody else as to how they ought to be. We don't
say to our parents, "Why don't you understand about the spirit and why
I'm a vegetarian?" We don't say to our husband or wife, "Why do you
still want sex when all I want to do is read the Gospel of Ramakrishna?"
A conscious being does all that he or she can to create a space for being with God but does no violence to the existing karma to do it.
