X Obligations : V. People in need

5. Obligations to People in need. (anyone who suffer, who is abused, out of society, down, with disabilities, rejected, left, poor, in misery) 

All these people need your help! Just as they exist, means not only you should help them, when you meet them by chance-but also you should search and help by any possible way. And this is high obligation! Here your obligation is even stronger than you may think – not only to help such people, but also to not be passive. Lack of reactions to the evil and passiveness is also an act of crime, as you show yourself as supporting silently the cruelty and so allow it to happen. Such examples are countless in our society. Cruelty and unwilling to help, backed with great dose of Fear, are wide spread in this era. This is time of degrading traditions, disrespect of elder people, lack of moral principles and values, copy of vanity behavior of social paradigm and conformist behavior, lack of systematic education and knowledge….and many more. Passivity in and non reaction is subjected to crimes. You should be aware of that. If you see for example a man, beaten or killed in front of you, and you don’t react, for any reason or fear, then you take the responsibility to have much closer “bad experience by yourself. And opposite, the more you are willing to help others – you can say you receive “points” and advance in your karmic lessons. Help is not “obligation” but feeling, the “need for helping others” is obligation. This is something created. If you don’t feel compassion and such need, even for very small creatures like dogs and cats in danger, then you are missing something from what you should become, and you cant achieve Spiritual growth. Help doesn’t mean always money and charity. Even that’s great and if you have chance, you can do that. But help is involving in someone`s problem and suffer with your heart. Then you`ll feel its like your own suffer and act in order to help him! That means all – participate in organization, sign petitions and causes, feel and understand the problems of society, involve in charitable activity (helping children with disabilities and elder people, donate clothes and things). Sometimes one smile and doing simple things for people by caring for them is more than money u can give.
