“Here is a peculiarity: When you serve a Jiva, it is Daya (compassion) and not Prema (love); but when you serve him with the idea that he is the Self, that is Prema. That the Atman is the one objective of love is known from Shruti, Smriti, and direct perception. Bhagavan Chaitanya was right, therefore, when he said, “Love to God and compassion to the Jivas”. This conclusion of the Bhagavan, intimating differentiation between Jiva and Isvara, was right, as He was a dualist. But for us, Advaitins, this notion of Jiva as distinct from God is the cause of bondage. Our principle, therefore, should be love, and not fellow feeling. The application of the word compassion even to Jiva sees to me to be rash and vain. For us, it is not to pity but to serve. Ours is not the feeling of compassion but of love and the feeling of Self in all.
