HARE KRISHNA!
Our dearest Lord Sri Krishna in his most divine Bhagavad Gita has enumerated various virtues which a person possesses like strength of character, honesty, gratitude, etc but the mother of all virtues is "Compassion". A true Vaishnava is one who showers compassion on one and all, all of our dearest creator's creations living and non living for this quality when practised only makes one feel good , spreads joy to every one around and above all instantly connects one with our supreme personality of godhead, this is without an iota of doubt.
The feeling of empathizing with all the people around, to count our blessings, to forgive and above all to forget the harm done leads us one step closer to our most loving Sri Krishna for he loves his devotees who have the quality of "KARUNA/ DAYA" which makes us all feel more humane.
One of the greatest saints of South India " Sri Vedanta Desikan" in his "DAYA SATAKAM" , beautiful verses composed and sung by him for our mother divine Sri Lakshmi amma mentions that the quality of compassion possessed in abundance by our mother is the reason why each of us are able to survive for she forgives each of our failings, our faults, our innumerable sins and above all takes us in her shelter forever and it is she who pleads with our dearest lord Sri Krishna, her divine consort , to also forgive us , for we are their children and any fault no matter how huge it is , he needs to exercise his saulabhya, sausheelya and above all his Karuna (compassion) on each of his creations to enable them to escape the otherwise harsh penalty which we would have to suffer in case our lord does not bestow his compassion/ his mercy / compassion on each of his creation. The moment Sri Vedanta Desikan sang his Daya Satakam on our beloved mother , she rained golden coins on him and asked him to seek any boon which he so desires from her for she was very happy at the song composed by him . Sri Vedanta Desikan requested her to forever shower her compassion on all the creations of our lord Sri Krishna and that he needed no material possession or any other wants except her Daya/ compassion which proves beyond a point how important it is to possess the quality of compassion where each of our lord's creation are linked with love, share and care for at the end of the day if we have someone somewhere who loves us and their compassion is felt for us this world would be one of the most blessed place to live for happy are those who bestow compassion on others and still happiest are those for are capable of bestowing their compassion on others and that is why our father of nation Mahatma Gandhiji's most loved song by Narsinh Mehtaji "Vaishnava Janato dene kahiye ...." is one of the most popular song which endorses the fact that a true Vaishnavite is one who feels for our greatest lords creations and forever finds ways to help a soul in need.
