Swami Vivekananda - Unique Answer to Unexpected Question

When Swami Vivekananda went to USA, a lady asked him to marry her.

When Swamy asked the lady about what made her ask him such question, the lady replied that she was fascinated by his intellect. She wanted a child of such an intellect. So she asked Swami, whether he could marry her and give a child like him.

He said to that lady, that since she was attracted only by his intellect, there is no problem. ” My dear lady, I understand your desire. Marrying and bringing a child to this world and understanding whether it is intelligent or not takes very long time. More over it is not guaranteed. Instead to fulfill your desire immeditely, I can suggest a guaranteed way. Take me as your child. You are my mother. Now onyour desire of having a child of my intellect is fulfilled.

The lady was speechless !
