Would it make sense to cultivate the first kind and let the second kind arise by itself?54:00 With regards to the second kind of compassion, as it is significantly harder to make someone else aware of their relationship with Sri Krishna than it is, for example, to feed someone who is physically hungry, is that feeling enough in itself to help others?56:54 Is it a good practice to name one’s child or pet after Sri Krishna?
