How Did Swami Vivekananda Experience God ?
When Swami vivekananda was just 19 years old he was a very logical and intellectual and wanted to have proper answer from everything..
.
So one day he came to Ramakrishna and asked, "You are always talking about God..
Where is God?
Can you show me the proof that God Exists??
.
Ramakrishna didn't gave any Elaborate Explanation or theory as he was a simple man.
He just replied.
" I am Proof that God exists. "
.
Vivekananda was not satisfied with the answer as he was looking for some Explanation, something intellectual which could satisfy him..
Vivekananda didn't know what to reply and left..
.
This was still troubling vivekananda.
So three days later he was back to Ramakrishna and asked same question.
Can you show me God??
.
Ramakrishna replied " Ok. But do you have courage to see?
Vivekananda wanted to see so he bravely said," yes...
" just then Ramakrishna placed his foot on swamiji chest and with this swamiji went into immense Samadhi ( Super Conscious State ) and did not come out of it For 12 hours.
.
But when swami ji came out of Samadhi he was never same person again..
"Experience is the only teacher we have we may talk and reason all our lives. But, we shall not understand a word of truth, until we experience it ourselves. "
~ Swami Vivekananda
