Do good to one and all

Foundation is the base on which something can be established or something can stay put. We see plenty of skyscrapers around. These gigantic buildings are built on the strength of their strong foundations.

Even Sanatana Dharma, the eternal dharma that has no beginning and no end, couldn'||chr(39)||'t have endured without a foundation. It has been managed to survive unharmed, amidst lots of storms for thousands of years, because of its rock solid foundation.

What could be its rock solid foundation? Its foundation lies in its core belief of sarvabhuta hitaretah, i.e. do good to one and all, without exception. In other words, this means to visualise our soul in each and every living or non-living entities in the world, to regard everyone just like our own selves, to have an infinite all-inclusive outlook.
Both Nietzsche’s individualism and Marx’s socialism are impractical.
 
One of them regards an individual to be the "be all and end all" of all creation. Second one thinks of society as being the most important one.
 
But both fail when we evaluate them practically.
 
Only spiritual thinking can elegantly bridge the divide between these two viewpoints.
 
Spiritual thinking gives an individual the right to be free and achieve perfection, in the image of a most pious, holy and perfect soul. At the same time thinks of an individual as being an indivisible part of the society.
