She wasn’t a strong woman. That is, she could not pick up and carry a forty-pound item. But, still, so many people admired her for her gentle but persistent efforts to accomplish the tasks set before her. Have you ever been under the umbrella of such a person? Could you feel the warmth, the inspiration coming, from her strength?

Not everyone views strength as being able to carry heavy loads or defeat someone in a fight. Instead, strength is the ability to do things with a constant and clear-minded attitude even when obstacles cross our path, and when you add compassion and a gentle touch, strength is magnified twofold.

A remarkable story from Swami Vivekananda’s life showcases his gentleness and how that qualified him to take his Guru’s message across the world.
