Paragraph 33

In plain words

The second pilgrimage was five years later, in January 1868 by the English reckoning, with Mathur Babu and his wife Jagadamba Dasi. His nephew Hriday went with him this time. On this journey he saw Kasi, Prayag and Vrindavan. At Kasi, in samadhi at the Manikarnika, he saw the solemn form of Visvanatha, made of Spirit, giving the name of Brahman that saves to the dying. And he talked with Trailanga Swami, who had taken a vow of silence. In his inner vision he saw the divine play: at the Dhruva Ghat in Mathura, Krishna in the arms of Vasudeva; in Vrindavan at dusk, Krishna coming back from the pasture with the cows, crossing the Jamuna; and so on. At the Nidhuvan he talked with Gangamata, rapt in love for Radha, and was filled with joy.
