Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vireswarananda recounted this story: “When Swamiji was travelling in western India, he was the guest of a lawyer in Mahabaleswaram. Now this lawyer had a baby that cried so much that no one could sleep at night.

One day Swamiji said to the parents: ‘Well, will you give the baby to me? I shall take care of it tonight.’

The mother said: ‘Well, Swamiji, I do not object, but how will you keep it from crying? When I am not able to stop its crying, will you be able to do so?’

Then Swamiji said, ‘Let me try.’ So the baby was handed over to Swamiji. Swamiji put the baby on his lap and began to meditate. He meditated the whole night and the baby did not cry. I have no doubt that it kept silent due to Swamiji’s meditation.”

The above story has been taken from the article: Various Facets of Vivekananda by Swami Chetanananda.
