On one of Swami Vivekananda's visits to the West, a group of scholars mocked him for his traditional attire, asking why he wore "such primitive clothes." Swamiji, with his characteristic wit and calmness, replied, "In your country, the tailor makes a gentleman, but in ours, it is the character that does so."

This profound reply not only silenced the critics but also reminded the world of the importance of inner strength over outward appearances.

On his birth anniversary, let us strive to embody his teachings of self-confidence, courage, and universal brotherhood.
