Paragraph 40

In plain words

Vidyasagar taught no one about religion. He had read the books of philosophy. M. once asked him, "How do you like the Hindu philosophies?" He had said, "It seems to me they failed to explain what they set out to understand." He performed all the religious rites a Hindu performs, the sraddha and the rest; he wore the sacred thread; and the letters he wrote in Bengali he began with the salutation to the Lord, "Sri Sri Harisharanam."
