Paragraph 24

In plain words

A little farther north of the bakul tree is the Panchavati. Sitting at the foot of these trees the Paramahamsa went through many spiritual practices, and in later days he would walk here constantly with his devotees. Sometimes he would get up in the dead of night and go there. The Master had the trees of the Panchavati planted under his own care: the banyan, the peepul, the nim, the amalaki and the bel. On returning from Vrindavan he scattered its holy dust here. Just to the east of the Panchavati, Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna had a hut built, and there he spent long hours thinking of God and practising austerities. The hut has since been rebuilt in brick.
