Jain scriptures - "Always be ready to give relief or protection to those who are oppressed and afflicted. Always be ready to serve the sick and suffering. In this way knowledge enters the realm of
action and creates a very special path to liberation called "karma-yoga”. The truly knowledgeable will never stay inactive or be passive bystanders while society remains plagued by darkness”.
