Memorable Events in the Life of Swami Vivekananda43 suffering as it were! Suddenly the woman stumbled and fell down with all her burden. She sustained serious injuries to her ribs. But Swamiji also felt excruciating pain in his ribs at the same time. He stood still for some time, then said, 'I cannot move. I am suffering from terrible pain!' The companions asked, 'Where do you feel the pain, Swamiji?' Pointing to his ribs, Swamiji said : 'Right here! Did you not see how badly that woman was injured a few moments ago?' Though rare, such things happen in the lives of those who are very sensitive and who have great sympathy for others. We find such incidents also in the life of Sri Ramakrishna. One day, Sri Ramakrishna cried out in pain when a boatman on the Gaiiga was struck by another boatman. There was no change in the ways and behaviour of Swamiji towards his friends even when he became famous and was worshipped by thousands of devotees at home and abroad. He was the same 'Naren' to them throughout. When in Lahore, Swamiji met his boyhood friend Motilal Bose by chance. Motilal, who owned the Great Indian Circus, was there in connection with a show of his troupe. Having met his friend after a long time Swamiji plunged into conversation with him. But Motilal felt uneasy. He said, 'Brother, how should I address you, as "Naren" or "Swamiji"?'
