Paragraph 241

In plain words

Night had come, and it was time for M. to take his leave. But he could not bring himself to go. So he left Narendra and went looking for Sri Ramakrishna. His singing had enchanted M.'s heart and mind, and M. longed to hear him sing again. Searching, he found the Master walking alone in the natmandir before Mother Kali's temple. In the Mother's shrine lamps were burning on either side of Her. In the vast natmandir a single lamp gave a faint light, and the hall had that look which comes when light and darkness are blended.
