The day after Sri Ramakrishna’s first visit to Ram’s house Ram went to Dakshineswar and received various spiritual instructions from the Master. At 10:00 p.m. that night Ram took leave of the Master and went out. It was dark and cloudy. While he was still on the veranda he noticed that the Master was coming out of his room. Sri Ramakrishna suddenly approached Ram and asked, “Well, what do you want?” Ram was utterly amazed. He felt as if his whole body were charged with electricity. Although he realized that Sri Ramakrishna was standing in front of him like a Kalpataru (a wish-fulfilling tree), ready to grant any boon that he wanted, he was at a loss to know what to ask for from the Master. In the presence of Sri Ramakrishna’s spiritual magnitude, he realized how petty it would be to ask for wealth or supernatural powers. Finally, overwhelmed with emotion, Ram replied: “Lord, I don’t know what to ask for. You decide for me.” “Give me back the mantra I gave you in the dream,” said Sri Ramakrishna as he entered into samadhi. Immediately Ram prostrated himself before the Master and offered the mantra mentally at his feet like a flower. Sri Ramakrishna touched Ram’s head with his right foot and Ram also lost outward consciousness. He did not know how long they stayed in that state. Gradually the Master came back to the normal plane of consciousness and took his foot away. Ram stood up. “If you wish to see anything,” said the Master to Ram, “look at me.” Ram looked and saw that Sri Ramakrishna had taken the form of his Chosen Deity, the form of God that was dearest to his heart. Then Sri Ramakrishna told him: “You do not need to practise any more spiritual disciplines. Just come here and see me now and then, and bring with you a pice worth of something as a present.”
After this, Ram was free of all his restlessness. Moreover, his experience convinced him that Sri Ramakrishna was an Incarnation of God. In Dakshineswar, the exuberant Ram once expressed his belief to the great devotee, Girish Chandra Ghosh: “Do you understand, Brother Girish? This time all three — Sri Chaitanya, Nityananda, and Advaita — are united in the form of Sri Ramakrishna. Love, devotion, and knowledge are equally manifested in this present Incarnation.” (Source: They Lived with God)
