Acharya Prashant explains that strength is life and weakness is death. He states that Swami Vivekananda presented this matter directly to the people, without any embellishments. He asked them to look at their lives and see how much strength and power is visible. If there is no strength in your body or mind, then you are falsely and untruthfully calling yourself religious or spiritual. Show your power. Acharya Prashant notes that at the turn of the 20th century in India, there was very little strength to be seen. Not to mention the common people, even the youth appeared weak, lackluster, and spineless. To emphasize his point, Swami Vivekananda went so far as to say that for those who are seen reciting the Bhagavad Gita, it is far more necessary to go and learn football. He urged them to learn to accept challenges, to compete, and to learn to get ahead of their opponents. If you are not doing all this, then the Gita has been wasted on you. What is the use of reciting the Gita? Krishna's teachings are for the strong, for the brave, for the bold. He is saying, 'Fight!' His teachings are not for those who do not even have enough strength in their arms to lift a bow. If Krishna were to tell them to fight, they would say, 'It won't lift, the bow is too heavy.' This was a revolutionary idea. Otherwise, the common practice was that in the name of spirituality, the talk would be about some other world, about the soul, the spirit, otherworldly matters, spiritual talks, and talks of distant lands. Swami Vivekananda pulled all these things down to the ground. He said spirituality is not about some other world; it is about the radiance in your eyes today. This withered face, this wilted life, and with this, you call yourself spiritual? Who are you fooling? There is no brilliance, no well-formed beauty. You have made spirituality completely airy-fairy. This was a revolutionary idea. Similarly, another prevalent belief, which still exists to some extent, was that spirituality is about sitting in seclusion, assuming a posture, and doing things like meditation. Swami Vivekananda stood up firmly against this. He said, 'No. Your settlements are dirty, your brother is dying of illness. Look at the condition of Bengal, look at the condition of the whole country.' And you say you are spiritual because you sit in a corner of your room with your eyes closed? What kind of spirituality is this? He said, 'Come out!' And especially to the youth, he said, 'Come out! Without social service, there is no spirituality.' He urged them to pick up a broom, clean the streets and neighborhoods, and present an unparalleled ideal of hard work on the streets. Famines were occurring one after another, especially in Bengal, where there was a series of famines. Swami Vivekananda deployed his companions and followers to the work of service, and he himself led from the front, setting an ideal. He said this is not the time for just meditation, hymns, and chanting. Keep doing meditation, hymns, and chanting, but at this time, the service of man is the service of God. Go, arrange for people's food and drink. Arrange for money and food from wherever possible. Save the people.
