The attitude of the saint is to feel sympathy for others, to see the difficulties of the situations of others as of himself, and to sacrifice his wants for the needs of others. He realizes that life is difficult, whereas those who are void of wisdom have still more difficulties as they know not how to surmount the difficulties of life. Out of his love, mercy, and compassion, he thus sacrifices his life to the service of his fellowman by making life easy for them.
