The Alter Rebbe received the following teaching from the Tzadik Reb Mordechai, who had heard it from the Baal Shem Tov:

A soul may descend to this world and live seventy or eighty years, [1] in order to do a Jew a material favor, and certainly a spiritual one.

Day six of week 3

Yesod of tiferet

For compassion to be fully realized, it needs bonding. It requires creating a channel between giver and receiver. A mutuality that extends beyond the moment of need. A bond that continues to live on. That is the most gratifying result of true compassion. Do you bond with the one you have compassion for, or do you remain apart? Does your interaction achieve anything beyond a single act of sympathy?

Exercise for the day: Ensure that something eternal is built as a result of your compassion.
