"“Once Vidyāsāgar said in a mood of pique: ‘What is the use of calling on God? Just think of this incident: At one time Chenghiz Khan plundered a country and imprisoned many people. The number of prisoners rose to about a hundred thousand. The commander of his army said to him: “Your Majesty, who will feed them? It is risky to keep them with us. It will be equally dangerous to release them. What shall I do?” Chenghiz Khan said: “That’s true. What can be done? Well, have them killed.” The order was accordingly given to cut them to pieces. Now, God saw this slaughter, didn’t He? But He didn’t stop it in any way." (from "Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna" by Swami Nikhilananda)
