Paragraph 34

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: Yes, a little ego usually remains in me. However much you rub a grain of gold on the goldsmith's stone, a little grain still remains. Or it is like a great fire and a single spark of it. Outward consciousness goes, but usually He keeps a little "I" for the sake of enjoyment! Only when there is "I" and "you" can there be tasting. Sometimes He wipes away even that little "I". That is called jada samadhi, nirvikalpa samadhi. What that state is cannot be told in words. A doll made of salt went to sound the ocean; no sooner had it gone down a little than it melted. "It took the form of That." Who is then to come up again and bring word how deep the ocean is!
