REMEMBER ME ONCE A DAY IF YOU CAN DO NOTHING ELSE
Navagopal Ghosh was another devotee. On his first visit he came to Dakshineswar with his wife and children. The Master was greatly attracted towards them. Navagopal did not repeat the visit and forgot all about the Master for three years. One day Sri Ramakrishna asked about him and sent an invitation to him to come to Dakshineswar.
When the news reached Navagopal he was amazed to think that Sri Ramakrishna still remembered him. He went to Dakshineswar and was cordially received. This time Navagopal was charmed with the personality of the Master, who told him that he did not need much spiritual discipline, and that by coming to Dakshineswar he would attain the goal. Navagopal and his whole family became greatly attached to Sri Ramakrishna and often came to Dakshineswar. One day when the Master was in a semi-conscious state, Ramchandra Dutt told Navagopal to pray to him for any boon he liked.
Navagopal prostrated himself before the Master and said, “I am immersed in worldliness, kindly tell me how I may get out of it.”
“Don't worry,” replied the Master, “ remember me once a day if you can do nothing else.”
From the Life of Ramakrishna .
