This shows that he had a belief in humanity and he also dedicated himself for the sake of humanity.
Even at his death time he wanted to donate his kidneys but due to their failure they couldn't be donated.
His eyes were donated as per his will.
We should have a lesson from such great personalities. We should adopt their way of life. This will not only helped us live a orderly life but also raise our importance in the life of others.
