"I would not care much for a religion...."





Swami Vivekananda was once passing through Bengal when a forestry officer and his wife were so much impressed by his appearance that they insisted on his stopping in their house. 'The rains have just set in, Swamiji,' they said, 'this is the time when no Sannyasin tries to wander. Why do you not come and live with us for a while? We have no children and we can give you a place where you will be altogether undistured.' Swamiji consented.

'Both became his disciples and the wife took initiation from him. On the morning when he was leaving she said with some compunction: 'Swamiji, I am in the habit of drinking a cup of tea in the early morning. Will that interfere with my spirutual progress?' Swamiji replied, 'I would not care much for a religion which could be washed off by a cup of tea.'
