Story 2: An American Lady Remark..!!
Another story from Swami ji visit in America. One day Swami ji was walking on the street of Chicago in his saffron attire, two long pieces of cloths wrapped around his body like a sadhu.
For Americans that kind of attire was unfamiliar. A couple was passing along same street and on seeing Swami ji, woman whispered to her husband, “I don’t think this man is a gentleman..!!”
Swami ji over heard this remark. He walked toward that couple and said to that lady, “Madam.. In your country it is the tailor who makes a man a gentleman, but in the country from which I come, it is character which makes a man a gentleman.”
Couple was taken aback with such response and felt bad for their remark.
