Someone’s watching you!
Once Ramkrishna Param hans asked the disciples of his ashram to steal a little rice from their own home with a condition that nobody sees them stealing. Next day almost everyone proudly came with the stolen rice in the ashram as they had completed the task assigned to them by the Guru, but Swami Vivekananda came empty handed.
Once Ramkrishna Param hans asked the disciples of his ashram to steal a little rice from their own home with a condition that nobody sees them stealing. Next day almost everyone proudly came with the stolen rice in the ashram as they had completed the task assigned to them by the Guru, but Swami Vivekananda came empty handed.
On being asked the reason, he told that how much ever he tried, he always saw himself stealing the rice. He couldn’t do because however harder he tried to hide his deeds from the world, he knew his self is witnessing it. So there never exists a situation when you can hide your deeds from everyone, because you know what you are doing and it can never be hidden from yourself.
Ramkrishna Paramhans knew that Vivekananda’s honesty and innocence will make him his chief disciple one day. This is a story, which touches us all to the core. Whatever we do in our life, at whatever place or time no matter good or bad, there is always at least one person watching us do that. And of course, no one could ever prove this fact, better than Swamiji!
