Naren (Swami Vivekananda) was searching for some one who could showhim God. Naren went to many Meditators and Yogi’s like Devandra NathTagore but no one could satisfy his sharp intellect and rational mind.On the other part of same city Sri Ramakrishna was waiting eagerly foryoung Boys who were supposed to join him in the divine play. Sometimes in deep anguish Sri Ramakrishna used to climb the roof ofbuilding and cry “come Oh, My boys come”One day one college professor discussed about Sri Ramakrishna in frontof young Naren and Naren went to see Sri Ramakrishna inDakshineswar.Naren was careless about his clothes and appearance but his eyes whichwere partly withdrawn was telling the treasure which he was carryinginside his heart.Sri Ramakrishna recognized Naren instantly. Naren sang a few songsthere and as usual he poured his soul into those songs.First two paragraph of Naren first songs were:Let us go back once more,O mind, to our proper home!Here in this foreign land of earth Why should we wander aimlessly instranger's guise?These living beings round about,And the five elements,Are strangers to you, all of them; none are your own.Why do you so forget yourself,In love with strangers, foolish mind?Why do you so forget your own?After the singing was over Sri Ramakrishna suddenly took hold of Narenhand and took him aside. To the amazement of Naren, Sri Ramakrishnawith tear in his eyes started talking to him “Oh you have come now, howunkind of you to keep me waiting for so long” and then suddenly withfolded hands Sri Ramakrishna said “I know you are ancient sage Narawho have taken birth to remove the miseries of human world.”Naren's rational mind could not accept this child like behavior of SriRamakrishna. When they returned back to main room, Sri Ramakrishnafed Naren with his own hands. This further disappointed Naren.Then Naren asked Sri Ramakrishna “have you seen God” and SriRamakrishna replied shocked Naren “yes, I have seen God and I talk toGod as I am talking to you”Some how Sri Ramakrishna managed to extract promise from Naren tovisit again and in their next visit Naren was led to deep ecstaticexperience by Sri Ramakrishna. After the experience Naren's rationalmind thought that Sri Ramakrishna had hypnotized him.So on his third Visit Naren was very careful but this time again SriRamakrishna put Naren into deep trance with his Touch. This time SriRamakrishna asked many questions from Naren in trance to know abouthis past.And Sri Ramakrishna later said that Naren had attained perfection inlast birth itself. After this visit Naren submitted himself to his Guru feetfor ever.
