I am friendless. Is there any way Swami Vivekananda could help me come out of my loneliness or to make new friends? - A College Student, Bangalore.
Answer: One may be friendless but no one should be hopeless. One should possess three qualities as propounded in thoughts of Swami Vivekananda to receive the love and appreciation of everyone. They are:
1. A loving heart to help others in their difficulties.
2. A profound mind to think clearly and act boldly under all circumstances.
3. A healthy and strong body.
You may also have a question as to how Swami Vivekananda can help you in your life. He can help you in four ways if you imbibe his great ideas:
♦ You will start to realize how unique you are.
♦ You will get to understand yourself better and develop your skills and strengths.
♦ He will make you achieve great deeds in your life.
♦ He will make you do great services to the needy and shower on you with glories of the world.
To achieve the above 4, you should develop the earlier mentioned 3 qualities. Swamiji is the one who would inspire and lovingly guide you in the right way by his Man-Making and Character - Building ideas to develop these qualities.
If you can imbibe these traits through steady and regular practice, your life will experience a remarkable change and by Swami Vivekananda’s grace. Swamiji is friend of all, he will make you so too.
