When Swami Vivekananda was living in Chicago, he would go to the library, borrow a large number of books, take them home and return them the next day. This aroused the curiosity of the librarian, so much so that one day she asked him, "Why do you take so many books when you can't possibly read them all in one day”? Swamiji replied that he read each and every word of the books he borrowed with full concentration. Seeing the librarian not being convinced by his reply, Swamiji asked her to test him. She opened a book, randomly selected a page and paragraph, and asked him to tell her what was written there. Swamiji repeated the sentence, without looking at the paper. Seeing the wonderful powers of concentration and retention of Vivekananda, the librarian was left completely dumbfounded.
