Blissful tears

@Sadhguru: When Vivekananda was a highly energetic and intense young boy, he was very skeptical and full of questions. He wanted to investigate everything. He had won many awards in debates and was always looking for more debates with whomever he met. When he met Ramakrishna he asked him, “You’re always talking about God. What is the proof that there is God?” He was expecting some great explanation, which he obviously had the logic to break down, and he would defeat him. Ramakrishna said, “I am the proof.” Vivekananda didn’t expect this answer. He was expecting some explanation as to how there’s a creation and a creator. So when Ramakrishna said, “I am the proof,” he didn’t know what to say. He sat there, bewildered. Ramakrishna thought this fellow’s snooty logic was making him stupid. Vivekananda had enormous intensity, but he was missing the whole point. So Ramakrishna just took his foot and placed it on Vivekananda’s chest. He lost all of his logic, and tears started flowing. Tears and Vivekananda were impossible. Logical people cannot shed a tear unless they’re touched in their innermost depth. Tears just started flowing and then he said, “I’m very sorry I even asked you such a question.”
