“When Swami Vivekananda introduced a new form of address at the Congress of Religions in Chicago, instead of addressing them as ‘Ladies Gentlemen’, he addressed them as ‘Brothers and Sisters’. It was quite new to the foreigners and they were so much touched and moved by that gesture that they applauded him incessantly for 15 minutes. Of course, nowadays too, we are addressing the audience as sisters and brothers, but that feeling is not there in our heart even for the time we are on the platform. What we do not feel in our heart should not be expressed outwardly. We must give place to true feelings in our heart and we must try to practice good things in our life.”
