Paragraph 23

In plain words

Seeing Nityagopal, the Master says, "Will you eat something?" The young devotee is in a childlike state at this time. He is unmarried, perhaps twenty-three or twenty-four years of age. He lives always in the realm of bhava. He comes to the Master often, sometimes alone, sometimes with Ram. Seeing his spiritual state, the Master is fond of him. "His is the state of a paramahamsa," the Master says now and then. And so he looks on him as on Gopala.
