+The idea is that passion should be transmuted into compassion for yourself and
+others.  This is possible because passion without reference point, goal
+orientation, or aggression is compassion.  When passion is transmuted into
+compassion, you do not abandon your existence, but you are able to be gentle
+and nice.  Since you are not substituting such behavior for your actual self,
+you do not feel particularly lost or deprived of your capabilities.  Beyond
+that, you can expand to others as well.  So you are full, but at the same
+time, you are empty.
