There is a spiritual story,
Of a teacher who tested his eager student,
By sending him around the marketplace with a bowl full of milk.
The task was to not spill even a drop.
The student returned having completed the task, and was praised.
When it was my turn to walk with the bowl,
I saw the hungry people in the marketplace,
And whenever I passed one, I gave him a cup of milk,
So that by the time I returned to to the teacher my bowl was empty.
He named me Compassion and kept me with him after that.
