What's simple for you isn't simple for others, mainly idealists themselves. How do we know ...

There is important difference between worrying and caring, but either case, the source of "anger" is often the perceived injustice and unnecessary suffering in the world and underlying empathy and compassion. Healer's obsession is in tension with advaita full acceptance of 'as is'; which ...
