Quote from Dr. Sukomal Barua

According to Buddhism, for a man to be perfect there are two qualities that he should develop equally: compassion (Karuna) on one side, and wisdom (Panna) on the other. Here compassion represents love, charity, kindness, tolerance and such noble qualities on the emotional side, and wisdom (Panna) on the other. Here compassion represents love, charity, kindness, tolerance and such noble qualities on the emotional side, or qualities of the heart, while wisdom would stand for the intellectual side or the qualities of the mind. If one develops only the emotional, neglecting the intellectual, one may become a good hearted fool; while to develop only the intellectual side neglecting the motional may turn one into a hard-hearted intellect without feeling for others. To be perfect, therefore, one has to develop both equally. That is the aim of the Buddhist way of life.
