Swami Nikhilananda

Once a devotee approached Swami Nikhilananda ( a direct disciple of Swami Vivekananda) and said this,

 " Swami ! Tomorrow I have an open heart surgery. Please bless me."

Swami : You will be saved! Don't worry.

Devotee: Then you mean that I won't die. Am I right ?

Swami : No I meant that You will be saved even if you die !
