"Be A Ram Inside!"

By Staff

Swami Chinmayanand, Courageous person
"Rajaram! Be a Ram inside and a raja (king) outside".

The advice is self-explanatory. One should be serene and divine inside, but outside as we face the world we have to "fight" like a king and be courageous. Being a sadhu (person dedicated to a search for God) doesn't mean one should shun fighting the evils or odds in life.

When I was only a shy boy, Swamiji explained it to me thus.
It was he who made me a "man" today!
