In 1876, a professor asked his student whether it was God who created everything that exists in the universe?

Student replied: Yes

He again asked:
What about evil?
Has God created evil also?

The student got silent...
Then the student requested that may he ask a question for him?

Professor allowed him to do so.

He asked: Does cold exist?

Professor said: Yes! Don't you feel the cold dear?

Student said: I'm sorry but you are wrong sir. Cold is a complete absence of heat...
There is no cold, it is only an absence of heat.

Student asked again:
Does darkness exist?

Professor Said: Yes!

Student replied: you are again wrong sir. There is no such thing like darkness. Its actually the absence of light.

Sir! We always study light & heat, but not cold & darkness.

Similarly, the evil does not exist. Actually it is the absence of love, faith & true belief in God.

That student was...

Swami Vivekananda...!!!
Can't stop myself from sharing this on the eve of his bday!
Happy Youth Day
