We must also remember that many of Swamiji's speeches were full of fire and emotion. >> Hmmmmm!!!!! I do not question the great Swami Vivekananda's exuberance and fire but honour and respect it as a vehicle to express Truth. Only with that fire could he transmit TRUTH. How blessed he was and we are to be the recipients of that fire, that passion embodied in this great teacher of ours. Who is anyone to question the results of his fire, labeling his passion as " went a little overboard from time to time " . It is a blessing indeed to have one's heart overflow with with such intense love for God and humanity. The rest of us go " underboard " . As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, " Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. " Here's to living overboard and transcending the man-made boundaries imposed on us by the world. <<Now, this ONE split itself into two, for the fun of it.....yes, simply for the fun of it.>> That one is STILL ONE...Not Two! We are opposite sides of the same coin! I don't know about you, Tom, but I having a great time. This kind of bantering and exploration is my cup of tea. What else ya got cookin'? :-) Om Shanti!
