AS TANGIBLE AS A FRUIT IN ONE'S HAND. CAN'T YOU SEE, HERE, HERE IS THE BRAHMAN!....

Once when he ( Swami Vivekananda ) saw them going to worship as he was in the middle of the court under a tree, he said to them:



" Where shall you go to seek Brahman ? ...He is immanent in all beings. HERE, HERE is the visible Brahman!...Shame to other things. Here is the Brahman before you, as tangible as a fruit in one's hand. Can't you see? Here, here is the Brahman!...

And so forceful was his utterance that each received a kind of shock and remained for nearly a quarter of an hour glued to the spot as if petrified. Vivekananda at last had to say to them, " Now go to worship! "
