Paragraph 82

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna, to Keshab, smiling: "There is a meaning in your having fallen ill. Many bhavas have passed through your body; that is why it has come to this. When the bhava comes, one understands nothing; long afterwards the body feels the blow. I have seen it: when a big steamer passed along the Ganges, nothing could be felt at the time; oh, Mother! A little while later I see the water dashing against the bank, splash, splash; and churning everything up. Perhaps a piece of the bank broke away and fell into the water!
