RAMA-VEDANTA
What is Practical Vedanta?
Pushing, marching labour and no stagnant Indolence,
Enjoyment of work, as against tedious drudgery,
Peace of mind and no canker of suspicion,
Organisation and no disaggregation,
Appropriate reform and no conservative custom,
Solid real feeling, as against flowery talk
The poetry of facts, as against speculative fiction,
The logic of events, as against the authority of departed authors;
Living realization and no mere dead quotations,
Constitute Practical Vedanta.
–Rama tirtha
