Paragraph 118

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: Such a state does not come unless one has seen Him; but there are signs of whether one has seen Him. Sometimes such a man is like a madman: he laughs, weeps, dances, sings. Sometimes he is like a child, in the state of a boy of five: guileless, open-hearted, without egotism, attached to nothing, under the sway of no guna, always full of joy. Sometimes he is like a ghoul: he makes no distinction between clean and unclean; right conduct and wrong conduct become one to him! Sometimes he is like something inert, as though he has seen something! So he cannot do any work; he cannot make any effort.
