That love for God is the expansion of the heart is a truth; in fact, it is the truth, for the heart delighted with itself, the heart which does not sympathize with others, is no heart, it is a stone. When the heart expands, it moves in sympathy with all the spheres, so that its activities are in harmony with the Universe. This is what the Buddha called "Right Action," which springs from compassion. Out of this all virtues arise, for all are of the nature of compassion but are considered as so many different virtues by the cognizing mind.
