OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI
The legendary hindu monk Swami Vivekananda who inspired a lot of people like Nikola Tesla. He was a great brahmachary, he had photographic memory
Once during the stay in Meerut, Swami Vivekananda, through brother disciple Swami Abhedananda, used to borrow and read one book from local library every day and return it the following day.The local librarian was not ready to accept that Swami Vivekananda was reading the books, he thought that he was not reading anything at all and it was only an attempt to impress others. One day he clearly expressed his doubt to Swami Abhedananda. Swami Vivekananda, upon hearing this, went to the librarian and told him, politelyโ โSir, I have read all the books very attentively. If you have any doubt, you may ask me any question you like from these books we had borrowed.โ The librarian asked him a series of questions and Swami Vivekanand correctly answered each of them. The librarian was highly surprised.
After the librarian of Meerut, most probably Raja Ajit Singh of Khetri was the second person to witness Swami Vivekananda reading mode. He carefully observed that while reading a book Swami Vivekanand just used to turn over the pages of it, very quickly, from beginning to endโ and that was his reading, he finished reading the entire book.A curious Ajit Singh asked Swami Vivekananda how was that possible. Swami Vivekananda explained that when a child starts reading, he reads one letter or alphabet at a time, and when he reads that one alphabet, his whole attention is focused on it. Gradually the child grows up, and with practice, and now he can easily read one word or two-three words at a time. Likewise, if someone goes on increasing his concentration power, he becomes able to read an entire page of a book in just a glance. He also told to achieve such power three things are absolutely neededโ a) continence, b) practice, c) concentration.
One more story from his dicipline- "A few days ago, a new set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica had been bought for the Math. Seeing the new shining volumes, the disciple said to Swami Vivekanand, โIt is almost impossible to read all these books in a single lifetime.โ He was unaware that Swami Vivekanand had already finished ten volumes and had begun the eleventh.
Swami Vivekanand : What do you say? Ask me anything you like from these ten volumes, and I will answer you all.
The disciple asked in wonder, โHave you read all these books?โ
Swami Vivekanand : Why should I ask you to question me
