In any case, the only thing which is really effective is to what the Divine wills, and to keep an unshakable confidence in the supreme compassion of the Divine Grace, for through that it is always the best that happens; not the best according to human ideas but the best according to the supreme Truth.

=What is Compassion?=
Compassion is the equivalent of miséricorde (knife). It is a pity full of strength and kindness, a pity that pardons and makes amends, forgets all offences and wants what is best for everyone.

Compassion is an essential psychic virtue. The psychic being which is possessed only in the man is able to display compassion. It appears in the consciousness only when the psychic being takes part in active life.

==Divine Compassion==
Even the disgust of the Divine is considered as the disgust which is full of compassion.
In addition to this, it is something that takes upon itself the bad vibration in order to cure others of it. The consequences of a wrong and low movement—instead of throwing it back with cold justice upon the one who has committed the mistake, it absorbs it, in order to transform it within itself, and diminishes as far as possible the material consequences of the fault committed. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/18-august-1954#p26</ref>
The divine compassion reaches out not only to the one who is eaten but also to the one who eats, not only to the one who is tortured but also the one who tortures. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/general-1#p5</ref>
