Mother:-“As soon as one takes a body, one takes on hunger and thirst also. This time at home when I was ill, one night I was so hungry! Sarala and all others were sleeping. Ah! They had toiled so long and slept. Could I wake them again? Never. So, lying down I felt all around. There was some parched rice in a dish and a few biscuits near the pillow. I was immensely happy. I ate that and drank water
which was nearby in a pot. I was so hungry that I was not at all aware of what I ate.
Saying this she began to laugh and continued, "I had high fever that time. What severe illness did I have at Koalpara! I was unconscious; calls of nature had to be answered in bed only. That time Sarala and others served me in a spirit of dedication. (In a weeping voice) So I wonder if I have to suffer like that again! That time I was cured by Dr. Kanjilal's medicine. Oh! What a burning sensation all over the body! Sarat also came to serve me."

M. said to himself,"I wish he would sing:
Mother Thou cans't not trick me any more,
   For I have seen Thy crimson Lotus Feet.
Strangely enough, no sooner the thought passed through M.'s mind than he sang the song. A few minutes later he said to M.:"What do you think of the present state of my mind?"M.(smiling):"It is your simple and natural state."
Sri Ramakrishna sang to himself the following refrain of a song:
     Unless a man is simple, he cannot recognise God, the Simple One.
