Nivedita: What I want to understand is the habit of seeing every people from their strongest aspect. Where did it come from? Do you recognize it in any historical character? Or is it in some way derived from Sri Ramakrishna? Vivekananda: It must have been the training under Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. We all went by his path to some extent. Of course it was not so difficult for us as he made it for himself. He would eat and dress like the people he wanted to understand, take their initiation and use their language. One must learn, he said, to put oneself into another mans very soul. And this method was his own! No one ever before in India became a Christian and Muslim and Vaishnava, by turn!
