108 SWAMI VIVEKANANDArising to her feet.— ( o ) —If you seek your own salvation, you will go tohell. It is the salvation of others that you must seek;and even if you have to go to hell in working forothers, that is worth more than to gain heaven byseeking your own salvation.— ( o ) —So long as the millions die in hunger andignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, havingbeen educated at their expense, pays not the leastheed to them!— ( o ) —So long as even a single dog in my country iswithout food, my whole religion will be to feed it.— ( o ) —Where should you go to seek for God? Arenot all the poor, the miserable, the weak, gods? Whynot worship them first? Why go to dig a well onthe shores of the Ganga? Let these people be your
