As Swami Vivekananda Said ...

When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face

When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve

When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People

When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others

God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed

Cant get better than this...
Swami Vivekananda, as it is, is the greatest of saints & forward thinkers of his time; trying to gauge him now, would be an insult to him. A lot needs to be learnt from him...resilience, patience to name a few.
Thanks for these grt words.. from his sayings

Thanks Biraj.
What I love most about Swami Vivekananda is that he was simple, logical and and yet Modern.
