Paragraph 148

In plain words

As soon as Sri Ramakrishna and the devotees reached the gate, they all stopped at a lovely sight. Before them stood a man in Bengali dress, fair-complexioned and bearded, about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, with a white turban on his head like a Sikh's, wearing a cloth, socks and a shirt, but no shawl. They saw that the moment he caught sight of Sri Ramakrishna he laid his head, turban and all, on the ground, and lay there prostrate. When he stood up the Master said, "Balaram! You? So late at night?"
