OMER MEDITATION A Spiritual Guide to the Counting of the Omer Forty-Nine Steps to Personal Refinement Day Five of Week 3: Hod of Tiferet Compassion must include humility for it not to be condescending and pretentious. Hod is recognizing that my ability to be compassionate and giving does not make me better than the recipient; it is the acknowledgement and appreciation that by creating one who needs compassion G-d gave me the gift of being able to bestow compassion. Thus there is no place for haughtiness in compassion. Do I feel superior because I am compassionate? Do I look down at those that need my compassion? Am I humble and thankful to G-d for giving me the ability to have compassion for others? Exercise for the day: Express compassion in an anonymous fashion, not taking any personal credit.
