To many God-lovers and even God-preachers he went with one solitary question: “Have you seen God?”
Alas, the answer was always in the negative, which broke Vivekananda’s God-hungry heart.However, sincerity and precious advice he did receive from Maharshi Devendranath, Tagore’s father.
When the same question was asked of him, Devendranath said to young Naren: “I have not seen God.Pray and meditate soulfully.
God you will definitely realise in this lifetime. My boy, you already possess the eyes of a yogi.”From:Sri Chinmoy,Vivekananda: an ancient silence-heart and a modern dynamism-life, Agni Press, 1993
