Sangh’s work has always been in tune with the sentiments of the common people, its acceptance in society has gradually increased.

Once, during Swami Vivekananda’s travels abroad, he was asked, “In your country, most people are illiterate; they do not know English. Then how will your lofty ideas ever reach the people of Bharat?” He replied, “Just as ants do not need to learn English to find sugar, in the same way, my people of Bharat, with their innate spiritual wisdom, can immediately recognise any virtuous (Sattvik) work being done in any corner of the land, and they quietly gather there. Therefore, they will understand my message.” This statement proved true with time. Similarly, though the Sangh’s pious work may have advanced slowly, it has continuously received acceptance and support from the common people.
