You cannot develop this until you have discovered the meditative state through anapanasatti. Once you are in the process of dealing with this state of being, then you cannot help radiating warmth;there is something which is open. In this case, anapanasatti means actually being aware of that relationship between inner and outer, this and that, which could be a primitive way of looking at Shunyata. But when you develop an open and carefree state of being, that is to say, non-dualistic, non-security-oriented, then the understanding of basic warmth arises. You are no longer involved with the conscious kindness of a pious and deliberate scene. You are able to give an open welcome since you have no territory of your own to preserve. The more you welcome others the freer you become. So the more you are involved with basic compassion, the more you welcome others without the host centralised notion of attempting to bring them into your scene. Warning: Do not gulp down pious, idiot compassion;you have to use basic intelligence to see the situation clearly. You should be able to deal with the situation intuitively rather than as written about in books.ely rather than as written about in books.)
