THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF THE RELIGION OF THE VEDANTA !

First of all try to ameliorate the terrible distress that is prevailing everywhere, to still the heart-rending cry of your hungry countrymen for a morsel of food; after that come to me to have a debate on the Vedanta. To stake one's whole life and soul to save thousands who are dying of starvation -- this is the essence of the religion of the Vedanta!

So long as even a dog of my country remains without food, to feed and take care of him is my religion, and any thing else is either non - religion or false religion!

- Swami Vivekananda
