This is spiritual boldness, while the other is the courage of a lion

or a tiger. In the Mutiny of 1857 there was a Swami, a very great

soul, whom a Mohammedan mutineer stabbed severely. The Hindu

mutineers caught and brought the man to the Swami, offering to kill

him. But the Swami looked up calmly and said, " My brother, thou art

He, thou art He! " and expired. This is another instance. What good is

it to talk of the strength of your muscles, of the superiority of

your Western institutions, if you cannot make Truth square with your

society, if you cannot build up a society into which the highest

Truth will fit ?

for profit while driving the majority of human beings into despair

and poverty is a killing/producing machine without spiritual center. "
