Vivekananda Quote - 4

There are many things to be done, but means are wanting in this country [India].We have brains but no hands. We have the doctrine of Vedanta, but we have not thepower to put it into practice.

It was in India that unselfish and disinterested work of the most exalted type was preached, but in practice we are awfully cruel, awfully heartless--unable to think of anything besides our own mass-of-flesh bodies.

Letter to Sarala Ghoshal, Editor of Bharati. Written from Darjeeling on April 6, 1897. Complete Works,5.126-27.
