30 / MANAV DHARMA - it is not a big matter but it is natural. We should make him understand in a very affectionate manner, His faults may be explained to him and we should try to bring him to the right path. Otherwise what is the use of our being learned, because a friend in need is always a friend indeed. We should always prove a friend and a guide to every erroneous man. by making him re-establish in his path or conduct.
स्वयूथ्यान्प्रति सद्भाव-सनाथाऽपेत-कै तवा ।
ofa-uffreferatri, aine metaforera 118011 Explanation :
Entertaining love and proper respect for one's Co-religionist, with mental purity and not from crooked motives is called “Vatsalya" (The seventh limb of Right Faith) Description :
What is Vatsalya ? The author is describing it in the following words. Without making any kind of pretext with the co-religionists, love them whole-heartedly and with purity, and by proving that we are theirs through proper and rightful treatment with all, we can define by our proper behaviour "What is vatsalya".

In the same way, if we want to make others useful for us, or to bring him on our side or support, we should behave him with pure love and affection, with no out-ward show otherwise we will fail, without getting any success. True and false love can not be hidden easily, We should not think that basis of Love is in the heart, and
