Ramkrishna Paramahansa & Swami Vivekananda
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.
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
blessing, 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.
