LOGICAL AND MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE BETWEEN SWAMI DAYANAND AND ONE SADHU ! 
Swami ~ “To begin with, please explain what do you mean by Vedantism?”
Sadhu - ”Vedantism is that which teaches that the world is false and that God is the only true existence.”

Swami ~ “What do you understand by the ‘world’ (jagata)? What things are included in your ‘world’ and what do you mean by the term ‘false’ (mithya)?”

Sadhu - ”Whatever there is from atoms up to the sun, is called the ‘world’ and all that is in it, is false and unreal.”

Swami ~ ”Are or are not your body, speech, moving about, updesh, guru, and books included in this world also?

Sadhu - Yes they are.”

Swami ~ “And is your religion also included in this, or is it outside of it?”

Sadhu - “Verily, that too is included in this.”

Swami ~ “When you yourself admit that you and your guru, your faith and your books, your speech and your updesh are false, what can I say to you? The case, according to the statement of the claimant himself, deserves to be dismissed. There is no need of witnesses here.
