CONCENTRATION
February 12th, 2006 by J.Sridharan
An interesting thing happened when Swami Vivekananda was walking along the bank of a river, in United States.
He found a group of youngsters shooting at a string of eggshells bobbing up on the water. The youths tried in turn, but none could hit the target.
Swamiji, who was watching all this, felt amused.
He could not suppress his smile and this did not escape the attention of one of the young men who said in a challenging tone -
“The Task is not as easy as it looks, Sir. Let us see how you do it”.
Swamiji said nothing, but took the gun from the boy’s hand and hit twelve shells in succession.
The youths were awe-struck and supposed Swamiji was a brilliant marksman.
Swamiji could read theri minds.
He told them he had never in his life fired a shot before and that
the Secret of his success was CONCENTRATION.

@ SUDEEP & ZOOONIE
Thanks for your responses.
This is an extract from ” SWAMI VIVEKANANDA - THE FRIEND OF ALL”.
You can see more of him in this book, in the chapter, “MEMORABLE EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA”
Actually Many will be knowing HIM and HIS.
Only to make the FEW who do not know, I Repeat them.
