Paragraph 7

In plain words

As he was saying this the Master passed into a wonderful mood. It seemed he had begun to see that Narayana Himself had come before him, taking on a boy's body as Rakhal! On this side was Rakhal, the boy devotee, pure of soul, who had renounced woman and gold; on the other, Sri Ramakrishna's eyes of love, drunk with God's love by night and by day: a parent's tender love rose of itself. He began to look on the boy Rakhal as a parent looks on a child, and to repeat the name "Govinda, Govinda" full of love. This, perhaps, was the very feeling that would rise in Yasoda at the sight of Sri Krishna! The devotees were watching this wonderful sight; at that moment all was still! As he repeated the name of Govinda, the Master, Sri Ramakrishna, God come as a devotee, had gone into samadhi. The body was still, like a figure in a painting! The senses seemed to have resigned their work and gone away! The gaze was fixed at the tip of the nose. The breath moved, or did not move. Only the body lay in this world! The bird of the soul, it seemed, was roaming in the sky of Consciousness. He who until now had been anxious for his child just like a mother, where is he now? Is this wonderful change of state what is called samadhi?
