All religions and scriptures agree that going to the aid of fellow-beings in times of need and saving them from distressing situations is the greatest virtue of a person. Suhrudham Sarva bhutanam (Wish well for all beings), Ekatma Sarva Bhuta Antharatma (the same soul resides within all beings) - these are well known aphorisms from the scriptures. To be friendly towards all beings is the duty of everyone, since the same Atma is there in all beings. Comprehending this truth, it is the duty of everyone born as a human being to do good to others on the basis of love. There is no need to search for God anywhere, since God resides in every being. The body therefore is to be considered the temple of God. Today people are breeding bad thoughts in the mind, thereby polluting the heart which is the seat of the Divine.
