why does swami vivekanand pity?
Answers
Answer:
The word “sympathy” means “a feeling of pity or sorrow for the suffering or distress of another; compassion”.[Source] It may be translated as Hindi: सहानुभूति, Bengali: সহানুভূতি where सह/সহ means “co” or “similar” and अनुभूति/অনুভূতি means “feeling”. Jesus Christ‘s advice was “Love your neighbour as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39)
There is a phrase— “Walk a mile in someone’s shoes before criticizing him or her”. Swami Vivekananda too told, “Want of sympathy and lack of energy are at the root of all misery.”[Source]

My thanks to those noble souls whose large hearts and love of truth first dreamed this wonderful dream and then realised it. My thanks to the shower of liberal sentiments that has overflowed this platform. My thanks to this enlightened audience for their uniform kindness to me and for their appreciation of every thought that tends to smooth the friction of religions. A few jarring notes were heard from time to time in this harmony. My special thanks to them, for they have, by their striking contrast, made general harmony the sweeter.
