Paragraph 21

In plain words

In the north-west corner of the courtyard, that is, just north of the twelve temples, is the Paramahamsa's room. Right on its west side is a semicircular verandah; there Sri Ramakrishna would turn to the west and gaze at the Ganges. Beyond the verandah is a path, west of that a flower garden, then the embankment, and beyond it the Ganges herself, holy water in which every place of pilgrimage dwells, murmuring as she flows.
