But Is that sufficient??? Is that all we can do as a human being???Just help those who are the easiest to help ??? Is that really good enough???How many of us has actually gone out of our way and helped other??? How many of us has stopped a child working on a road side and checked who made him work, while the child labour is illegal in our country?? Or how many of us have paid attention to an old lonely man of the village and wondered what he might be going through to meet his both ends’ meal???We all go to Temple/Church/monastery and pray and feel good about it but how many of us have often stayed back and thought about cleaning the place where we pray??? Hardly few rite?
