A rare conversation between Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda

Source: Google

Sometimes in tough situations, we don't find the solutions to our daily life problems. The solution by Ramakrishna for Vivekananda's genuine questions will surely guide us in our difficulties.

Swami Vivekananda:- I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic.

Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free.

Swami Vivekananda:- Why has life become complicated now?

Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- Stop analyzing life.. It makes it complicated. Just live it.

Swami Vivekananda:- Why are we then constantly unhappy?

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa:- Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.

Swami Vivekananda:- Why do good people always suffer?

Ramakrishna 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.

Swami Vivekananda:- You mean to say such experience is useful?

Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Swami Vivekananda:- Because of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading…

Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides the way.

Swami Vivekananda:- Does failure hurt more than moving in the right direction?

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa:- Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you.

Swami Vivekananda:- In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- Always look at how far you've come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessings, not what you are missing.

Swami Vivekananda:- What surprises you about people?

Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- When they suffer they ask, “why me?” When they prosper, they never ask “Why me?”

Swami Vivekananda:- How can I get the best out of life?

Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Swami Vivekananda:- One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

Ramakrishna 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.

Any Person can make you realize how wonderful the world is..!

But only a few will make you realize how wonderful you are in the world..!

Uddhav’s Bitter Questions to Krishna

Source: Pexels Uddhav was in the service of Shri Krishna as a charioteer since childhood, but he neither expressed any desire nor asked anything from Shri Krishna. When Krishna completed his avatar era and was ready to go to Gaulok, he called Uddhav to himself and said: Dear Uddhav, many people have received something from me in this 'Avatar period', but you never asked for anything! Now ask for something, I want to give something to you Uddhav did not ask for anything even after this. He only wanted to clear his doubts which were arising in his mind by seeing Krishna's teachings and his gratitude. This way it became a session which not only cleared the doubt’s of Uddhav but also it’s very helpful to clear all common doubts in our mind. Uddhav’s question: I could not understand many things in the events of Mahabharata! Your 'teachings' remained different, while 'personal life' looked somewhat different! Will you explain the reason to pacify my knowledge...

Education System of India

India produces more engineers than the total population of Switzerland. Still, Switzerland is number one in research and innovation. After independence, the Republic of India has produced zero noble laureates in science but within the same time period, the USA has produced noble laureates who are 100 plus in number. The new Annual Employability Survey 2019 report by Aspiring Minds reveals that 80% of Indian engineers are not fit for any job in the knowledge economy and only 2.5% of them possess tech skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that industry requires. Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella and many other popular people have done their education outside India. To find the root cause and problems hidden in our education system, we have to go back to the time when India was ruled by Britishers. In that time East India Company had two major challenges to rule India. First was the need for communication with Indians in their British English language and second, was the need for workers in I...
