"Feigned Sympathy. For 'feigned sympathy' is meant greedy craving. The Bodhisattva meditates deeply upon the bonds of craving and sees that it is nothing but an enemy that comes, befriends and cheats one. With a person who knows the truth, it can do nothing. The person who knows nothing, unfailingly gets harmed. The same is the case with craving. Once known its nature, it can do nothing to cause beings to repeat the pains of birth and death. Those who know nothing transmigrate through the six realms (of existence) and must suffer minutely from various pains. Why? Because they are captured by the illness of craving, which can never be eradicated. This is like the enemy who cheats someone with his feigned sympathy, and who is difficult to move away."
Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 29 On The Bodhisatta Highly-Virtuous King 3.
