Duties towards Brothers and sisters and other relatives and duties towards people of the same village, town or city

Swami Vivekananda teaches:
"Then the duty of the man is towards his brothers and sisters, and towards the children of his brothers and sisters, if they are poor, and towards his other relatives, his friends and servants. Then his duties are toward the people of the same village, and the poor, and any one that comes to him for help. Having sufficient means, if the householder does not take care to give to his relatives and to the poor, know him to be only a brute; he is not a human being.

The householder by digging tanks, planting trees on the roadsides, establishing rest-houses for men and animals, making roads and bridges, goes toward the same goal as the greatest Yogi."
