And if you do meet God, what will you ask for?
The great Indian Monk,Swami Vivekananda who hailed from an aristocratic family somehow came upon adverse times and wanted to ask MA Durga (Mother Goddess) to alleviate him from his impoverishment. At that time , he was as yet the spiritually inexperienced Narendra.
His Guru, the Paramhansa Ramakrishna said , very well. i shall arrange for you to "See" her, dont forget to ask for all the money you need. so saying he touched Vivekananda with his toe, and which reportedly sent the young fellow into a trance.
when he came out of it the Paramhansa asked did you see her?
yes said Vivekananda.
good so did you ask for the money?
i couldnt replied Vivekananda. she was so (spiritually) magnificent, i was speechless.
well then try again tomorrow said the Guru.
this went on for a few times.
finally Vivekananda said that he now understood what it was that one should ask from God, should he be lucky enough to have a darsana( vision) , and that was to be in the Company of God Herself. And that is how he lived the rest of His life: in the company of God Herself. Aum Namah Shivaya! Jai Durge Ma!
