How to Handle Insult
When Swami Vivekananda went to England, in those days England had a lot of racial prejudice. This is before World War 2.
A white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely.
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room when came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said, “Mr Vivekanand , you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat.” Vivekanand looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, “You do not worry professor. I’ll fly away,” and he went and sat at another table.
Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge. The next day in Class he posed the following question: “Mr.Vivekanand , if you were walking down the street and you found some money on one side, and a book of wisdom on the other side, and you are given the option to choose one, which one will you choose?”
Without hesitating, Vivekanand responded, “I will pick up the money, of course.”
Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said, “I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom.”
Swami Vivekanand shrugged and responded, “Sir, a person will pick up what he doesn’t have”
