In jail, I read the complete literature of Swami Vivekananda. One thing which impressed and amazed me very much was that Swami Vivekananda left his home and all worldly affairs to attain salvation but after travelling the whole of India for four years and seeing the poverty of our country, gave up the idea of moksha too. On the rock of kanyakumari, he made a historical announcement—“o Lord! I do not want salvation till every human being of My country is not free from hunger: and let me be born again and again to serve My motherland. ” not only this, he called upon all the countrymen to forget all the gods and goddesses for sometime as the poor countrymen are the greatest gods and goddesses and their service is the highest worship. He gave the mantra of dridara-narayana. —Shanta Kumar.
