During his second visit to the west when some persons challenged him that Hindu Philosophy had failed to lift up their own society, Vivekananda's voice literally thundered on them like Moses throwing the Ten Commandments on the Israelites :
" YES, we have buried all the old nations of earth and stand here to bury all the new races als...o, because our ideal is not this world, but the other. Just as your ideal is, so shall you be. If your ideal is mortal, if your ideal is of this earth, so shalt thou be. If your ideal is matter, matter thou shalt be. BEHOLD! Our ideal is SPIRIT. That alone exists. Nothing else exists and like Him we live for EVER!"
