Smart Vivekananda
First Incident - While Swami Vivekananda was travelling by train, in Rajasthan he was resting in a second class compartment with closed eyes as if meditating. Seeing Swamiji’s saffron dress and his relaxed composure, two Englishmen started abusing him. They were under the impression that Swamiji did not know English. When the train reached the station, Swamiji asked a train official for a glass of water, in English. The Englishmen were surprised; they asked Swamiji why he was silent, though he could understand them. Swamiji snapped back ,”This is not the first time I have met fools.” Second Incident - Swamiji was wandering near the Himalayas some time. In the course of his journey, he came across a river. The boat had already left the shore and he sat near the shore waiting for the boat to come back. As he was waiting he saw another Sadhu, a Siddh Yogi approaching. The Sadhu saw Swamiji sitting and asked why he was siting. To this, he replied he was waiting for a boat
