Paragraph 33

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna, to M.: I said to myself, why be one-sided? In Vrindavan I too took the garb of a Vaishnava monk, and stayed in that way for three days. Again, at Dakshineswar I took the Rama mantra; a long mark on the forehead, a string of beads round the neck; then after a few days I put it all away.
