Buddha quote on real love

 

An American woman made a nasty comment on Vivekananda's clothes || Swamiji Gave her a perfect reply ||


Vivekananda silenced a woman, who asked him to wear proper clothes. 

This incident happened, just the day before, Swamiji's Chicago address. 

Swami vivekananda was know, not just a man who launched a revolution, that even to his day resonates around the world. But a soul that, enlightened the minds, and conscious of many. He was the first Indian to represent his country, and Hinduism, at gigantic platform. Parliament of world's religious, in the year 1893. There is our interesting story behind this, that will fill you with great pride. Vivekananda came to know that, for the first time a parliament of world's religious, Was being organised in Chicago. Where delegates from all over the world, were invited to join in. On his arrival on Chicago, on July 30,1893. Vivekananda learned that, no one without any credential or bonafide could attend the Parliament, as a delegate. Though he left, utterly disappointed, but he didn't give up. As the events was weeks away, and Chicago seems to be bit expensive for him. Vivekananda decided to cut down, on his expenditure and to start with, he moved to Boston. There he met a professor, John Henry Wright, of Harvard University. Who represented him to give a lecture, at the university. And, later helped him, get the requisite credentials for the big event. Impressed by his friend's generosity, he decided to open up, to people of Boston and Chicago. During his stay for next few days in Boston, Swami Vivekananda came across so many people. Some of whom inspired him, and some who he left inspired. Just a day before the big event, Swami vivekananda returned to Chicago. In the evening, he decided to spend sometimes with himself, to clear his mind ahead of the lecture, the next day. For the evening walk, Vivekananda remained dressed in his saffron robe. And while he was walking near a park, A Woman, who had been conspicuously observing him for sometime, stopped him. Unable to control her thoughts, she asked him, "can't you wear proper clothes, to look like a gentleman?" 

Vivekananda with a polite smile and gesture, replied, "In your culture, a tailor make a gentlemen. But in our culture, Character makes gentlemen." 

Swamiji is someone, who has never lost his calm, ever...He is someone, who is made of the great Indian traditions, top to bottom. My dear brothers and sisters, it takes one moment to lose your cool. But, if you can bring yourself to forgive, you'll find that, you are capable of an equally befitting reply.
