IF YOU DARE OPPOSE THEM, TAKE IT UP; PUT THEIR TEACHINGS TO THE TEST.

When a Westernized Hindu spoke in a belittling manner of the " meaningless teachings " of the Vedic seers, the Swami { Swami Vivekananda } fell upon him with thunderbolt vehemence, crying out,

" How dare you criticize your venerable forefathers in such a fashion! A little learning has muddled your brain. Have you tested the science of the Rishis ? Have you even as much as read the Vedas ? There is the challenge thrown by the Rishis! If you DARE oppose them, take it up: put their teachings to the test. "
