QUESTIONER: "I would like
to ask, Swami, what special principle in Hindu Philosophy you would have us
Americans, who are a very practical people, adopt, and what that would do
for us beyond what Christianity can do."
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA: "That is
very difficult for me to decide; it rests upon you. If you find anything which
you think you ought to adopt, and which will be helpful, you should take
that. You see I am not a missionary, and I am not going about converting people to
my idea. My principle is that all such ideas are good and great, so that some
of your ideas may suit some people in India,
and some of our ideas may suit
some people here; so ideas must be cast abroad, all over the world."
