ATMAN SPEAKS

Swami Vivekananda said that he reached a point where everything he said felt like the Atman speaking; it wasn't himself who was speaking at all.

Fighting him, though, was his objective mind, where even his interest in the subject he was talking about, say, rebirth, left him bewildered.  "How could I possibly want to talk about that?" he asked himself.  

In the end, though, he chose to stay with the flow of thoughts and words on rebirth, precisely because it didn't feel like it was from him.
