See the difference! It is true that 'it is the status of the man that is worshipped, O King -- not the body, nor the Atman within.'" (LSV 2.297)

One day when Swamiji and the Raja were out riding, an incident occurred which shows the true Kshatriya spirit of the Raja. As they passed along, a narrow path overhung by the branches of trees and prickly shrubs, the Raja held aside a branch of one of the shrubs for Swamiji. After a while he noticed the Raja's hand bleeding profusely, and found that the wound had been caused by holding the thorny branch aside for him to pass. When he expostulated, the Raja laughed the matter off, and said, "Well, Swamiji, it has always been the duty of Kshatriyas to protect Dharma." After some moments of silence Swamiji rejoined, "Perhaps you are right." (LSV 2.300)

The Raja made a brief reply to the addresses presented to him, thanking especially the Ramakrishna Mission, for the Chief of the Mission was present there....
