A rare Q n A between *Ramkrishna Paramahansa* & *Swami Vivekananda*

| Chandru Gidwani

Please share with our next generation or read it loud to family, it’s one of the best message I have come across…

*1. Swami Vivekanand*:- I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic.
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa*:- Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free.

*2. Swami Vivekanand:-* Why has life become complicated now?
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa:-* Stop analyzing life… It makes it complicated. Just live it.

*3. Swami Vivekanand*:- Why are we then constantly unhappy?
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa:*- Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.

*4. Swami Vivekanand:-* Why do good people always suffer?
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa*:- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer.
With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter.

*5. Swami Vivekanand:*- You mean to say such experience is useful?
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa*:- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons later.

*6. Swami Vivekanand:-* Because of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading…
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa:-* If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides the way.

*7. Swami Vivekanand:-* Does failure hurt more than moving in the right direction?
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa:*- Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you.

*8. Swami Vivekanand:*- In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa:*- Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessings, not what you are missing.

*9. Swami Vivekanand:-* What surprises you about people?
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa:*- When they suffer they ask, “why me?” When they prosper, they never ask “Why me?”

*10. Swami Vivekanand:-* How can I get the best out of life?
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa*:- Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

*11. Swami Vivekanand:*- One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
*Ramkrishna Paramahansa:*- There are no unanswered prayers. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

*Stay Happy Always!*

Just for Today…Sybil F. Partridge

| Chandru Gidwani

Just For Today

Just for today I will be happy.This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that
“most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to
be.” Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.

Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try
to adjust everything to my own desires.
I will take my family, my business and my luck as they come
and fit myself to them.

Just for today I will take care of my body.
I will exercise it, take care of it, nourish it, not abuse it nor
neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.

Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind.
I will learn something that requires effort, thought and \
concentration.

Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways.
I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. I will
do at least two things I don’t want to do, as William James
suggests, just for exercise.

Just for today I will be agreeable.
I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible,
talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at
all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate nor
improve anyone.

Just for today I will try to live through this day only.
Not to tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do things
for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep them up
for a lifetime.

Just for today I will have a programme.
I will write down what I expect to do every hour. I may not
follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two pests,
hurry and indecision.

Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and
relax.
In this half-hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get
a little more perspective into my life.

Just for today I will be unafraid.
Especially, I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is
beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I love, love me.
