Mahatma Gandhi

Sympathy is what you have for someone after they die, pity you have for someone when they don't have a date to the biggest dance of the year. Empathy is what I do to you when you judge me. Envy is having pity on yourself. Can you discern the rest for yourself?
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Every single act of one who would lead a life of purity should be in the nature of yajna.
