We must become one with the subject of our observation. When we are in contact with another's suffering, a feeling of compassion is born in us. Compassion means, literally, "to suffer with."

The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future.

But you are still grounded in the present moment.
