Intrest in becoming Monk
Narendra's meeting with saint Ramakrishna in 1881 was the actual turning point in his life. Initially, upon seeing him, Narendra thought that he looked very ordinary and spoke in simple language. Narendrawondered if he would actually be the great teacher he was made out to be.He went up to the saint and asked him if he had seen God. To this, the master answered that he indeed had seen God and that he saw Him as clearly as he saw anyone else, only, in a more powerful and intense way. Narendra was impressed and from that day on, visited him every single day.5/23/2016 12:48 PM KPS 9

In the beginning, Narendra did not accept Ramakrishna as his Guru. Being a member of the Brahmo Samaj, he rejected the very idea of Ramakrishna's worship of Goddess Kali. He also had no regard for the Advaita philosophy, which states that all are one with the Absolute. However, he felt a certain pull towards the saint and therefore, visited him regularly.
Ramakrishna patiently answered all of Narendra's questions, asking him to inspect things from all angles, before accepting or defying them. Narendra kept meeting Ramakrishna for 5 years, during which he was slowly getting ready to renounce all in order to attain God realization. In due course of time, Narendra also accepted Ramakrishna as his Guru and completely surrendered to him, becoming his faithful disciple.5/23/2016 12:48 PM KPS 11
