斯瓦米吉此时正住在道场。弟子来到道场，傍晚时分陪伴斯瓦米吉和斯瓦米·普雷玛南达出去散步。见斯瓦米吉沉浸于冥思之中，弟子便与斯瓦米·普雷玛南达攀谈，聊起室利·罗摩克里希纳对斯瓦米吉之伟大所曾说过的话。走了一段路后，斯瓦米吉转身返回道场。见斯瓦米·普雷玛南达和弟子在旁，他问道："你们在说什么？"弟子回答说："我们在谈室利·罗摩克里希纳和他的话语。"斯瓦米吉只是听了听，又沉入思索，沿路走回道场。他坐在芒果树下的行军床上，歇了片刻，洗了洗脸，随后在上层游廊踱步，向弟子说道："你为何不在你的家乡开始宣传吠檀多（Vedanta）？那里密宗盛行，令人忧惧。以不二论（Advaita）的狮吼之声唤醒振奋那片土地吧。如此我方知你是真正的吠檀多行者。首先在那里开办一所梵文学校，教授奥义书（Upanishads）和梵经（Brahma-sutras）。教导少年们修习梵行（Brahmacharya）。我听说你们那里正理（Nyaya）学派的逻辑辩难十分盛行。那又有何用处？不过是遍在性（Vyapti）和推论（Anumana）——正理学派的学者在这些题目上一议便是数月！这对于真我（Atman）的知识又有何益？在你的村庄或那格·摩诃沙亚的村庄里，开办一所四吠陀学塾（Chatushpathi），在那里研习经典，同时传授室利·罗摩克里希纳的生平与教义。如此你将增进自身的善，也增进众人的善，你的声名亦将久传不衰。"
弟子：上师，我无意于名誉。只是有时我渴望做您所说的事。但婚姻使我深陷于世俗之中，我恐怕这愿望始终只是藏在心中。
斯瓦米吉：你已成婚又如何？正如你以衣食供养父母兄弟，也同样对待你的妻子；以宗教的教导引导她走上你的道路。将她视为你宗教生活中的伴侣与助手。在其余时刻，以平等之眼待她如同他人。如此思维，心中一切浮动便自然消散。何须惧怕？
弟子因这番话而感到宽慰。饭后，斯瓦米吉坐在自己的床上，弟子得到机会亲身侍奉他。
斯瓦米吉开始向弟子言说，嘱咐他当以恭敬之心对待道场中的众人："你所见到的这些室利·罗摩克里希纳的孩子们，都是奇妙的出离者（Tyagis），通过侍奉他们你将净化心灵，并蒙真我的显现而得祝福。你记得《薄伽梵歌》（Bhagavad Gita）中的话吗：'通过向伟大灵魂的请益与侍奉。'因此你必须侍奉他们，由此你将达成你的目标；你也知道他们多么爱你。"
弟子：但我发现很难理解他们。每一位似乎都是不同的类型。
斯瓦米吉：室利·罗摩克里希纳是一位奇妙的园丁。因此他用不同的花朵扎成一束花束，组成了他的僧团。各种不同的类型与思想都汇入其中，将来还会有更多。室利·罗摩克里希纳曾说："无论何人曾真诚地向神祈祷哪怕一日，都必定会来到这里。"须知在此的每一位都具有巨大的灵性力量。因为他们在我面前显得谦卑，不要以为他们是寻常的灵魂。当他们走出去的时候，他们将是唤醒众人灵性的源泉。须知他们是室利·罗摩克里希纳灵性身体的一部分，而他是无限宗教理念的化身。我以那样的眼光看待他们。举例来看，这里的梵天南达——即便是我，也未必有他那样的灵性。室利·罗摩克里希纳视他为自己心生之子；他与他同住同行、同食同寝。他是我们道场的庄严——我们的王者。同样，普雷玛南达、图里亚南达、特里古纳提坦南达、阿坎达南达、萨拉达南达、罗摩克里希纳南达、苏博达南达诸位；你可以走遍世界，也难以找到像他们这样具有灵性与对神之信心的人。他们每一位都是宗教力量的中心，假以时日这力量必将显现。
弟子惊奇地聆听着，斯瓦米吉又说："但是从你们那里，除了那格·摩诃沙亚，没有人来到室利·罗摩克里希纳处。曾见过室利·罗摩克里希纳的少数几人也未能领会他。"想到那格·摩诃沙亚，斯瓦米吉沉默了片刻。那格·摩诃沙亚去世不过四五个月。斯瓦米吉曾听说有一次在那格·摩诃沙亚家中涌出了恒河之水，回想起这件事，他问弟子："那件事究竟是如何发生的？请告诉我。"
弟子：我只是听说过，并未亲眼目睹。我听说在某次摩诃瓦鲁尼圣会期间，那格·摩诃沙亚与父亲出发前往加尔各答（Calcutta）。
但因火车上找不到容身之处，他在纳拉扬甘杰停留了三四天，徒劳无功后返回家中。随后那格·摩诃沙亚对父亲说："若心是纯净的，则母恒河将在这里显现。"于是在圣浴的吉时，一股水流穿破他庭院的地面涌出。许多目睹此事的人至今仍在世。但那是我与他相识之前许多年的事了。
斯瓦米吉：这并没有什么奇异之处。他是一位心志真诚不虚的圣人。对于他而言，我绝不认为这样的现象有何奇怪。
说完这些，斯瓦米吉感到困倦，侧身而卧。弟子于是下楼去用晚餐。

Swamiji was now staying at the Math. The disciple came to the Math and towards the evening accompanied Swamiji and Swami Premananda for a walk. Finding Swamiji absorbed in thought, the disciple entered into a conversation with Swami Premananda on what Shri Ramakrishna used to say of Swamiji's greatness. After walking some distance Swamiji turned to go back to the Math. Seeing Swami Premananda and the disciple near by, he said, "Well, what were you talking?" The disciple said, "We were talking about Shri Ramakrishna and his words." Swamiji only heard the reply, but again lapsed into thought and walking along the road returned to the Math. He sat on the camp - cot placed under the mango - tree and, resting there some time, washed his face and then, pacing the upper verandah, spoke to the disciple thus: "Why do you not set about propagating Vedanta in your part of the country? There Tantrikism prevails to a fearful extent. Rouse and agitate the country with the lion - roar of Advaitavada (monism). Then I shall know you to be a Vedantist. First open a Sanskrit school there and teach the Upanishads and the Brahma - sutras . Teach the boys the system of Brahmacharya. I have heard that in your country there is much logic - chopping of the Nyaya school. What is there in it? Only Vyapti (pervasiveness) and Anumana (inference)-- on these subjects the Pandits of the Nyaya school discuss for months! What does it help towards the Knowledge of the Atman? Either in your village or Nag Mahashaya's, open a Chatushpathi (indigenous school) in which the scriptures will be studied and also the life and teachings of Shri Ramakrishna. In this way you will advance your own good as well as the good of the people, and your fame will endure.
Disciple: Sir, I cherish no desire for name or fame. Only, sometimes I feel to do as you are saying. But by marriage I have got so entangled in the world that I fear my desire will always remain in the mind only.
Swamiji: What if you have married? As you are maintaining your parents and brothers with food and clothing, so do for your wife likewise; and by giving her religious instruction draw her to your path. Think her to be a partner and helper in the living of your religious life. At other times look upon her with an even eye with others. Thinking thus all the unsteadiness of the mind will die out. What fear?
The disciple felt assured by these words. After his meal, Swamiji sat on his own bed, and the disciple had an opportunity of doing some personal service for him.
Swamiji began to speak to the disciple, enjoining him to be reverential to the Math members: "These children of Shri Ramakrishna whom you see, are wonderful Tyagis (selfless souls), and by service to them you will attain to the purification of mind and be blessed with the vision of the Atman. You remember the words of the Gita: `By interrogation and service to the great soul'. Therefore you must serve them, by which you will attain your goal; and you know how much they love you."
Disciple: But I find it very difficult to understand them. Each one seems to be of a different type.
Swamiji: Shri Ramakrishna was a wonderful gardener. Therefore he has made a bouquet of different flowers and formed his Order. All different types and ideas have come into it, and many more will come. Shri Ramakrishna used to say, "Whoever has prayed to God sincerely for one day, must come here." Know each of those who are here to be of great spiritual power. Because they remain shrivelled before me, do not think them to be ordinary souls. When they will go out, they will be the cause of the awakening of spirituality in people. Know them to be part of the spiritual body of Shri Ramakrishna, who was the embodiment of infinite religious ideas. I look upon them with that eye. See, for instance, Brahmananda, who is here -- even I have not the spirituality which he has. Shri Ramakrishna looked upon him as his mind - born son; and he lived and walked, ate and slept with him. He is the ornament of our Math -- our king. Similarly Premananda, Turiyananda, Trigunatitananda, Akhandananda, Saradananda, Ramakrishnananda, Subodhananda, and others; you may go round the world, but it is doubtful if you will find men of such spirituality and faith in God like them. They are each a centre of religious power, and in time that power will manifest.
The disciple listened in wonder, and Swamiji said again: "But from your part of the country, except Nag Mahashaya none came to Shri Ramakrishna. A few others who saw Shri Ramakrishna could not appreciate him." At the thought of Nag Mahashaya, Swamiji kept silent for some time. It was only four or five months since he had passed away. Swamiji had heard that on one occasion a spring of Ganga water rose in the house of Nag Mahashaya, and recollecting this he asked the disciple, "Well, how did that event take place? Tell me about it."
Disciple: I only heard about it, but did not see it with my own eyes. I heard that in a Mahavaruni Yoga Nag Mahashaya started with his father for Calcutta.
But not getting any accommodation in the railway train he stayed for three or four days in Narayangunge in vain and returned home. Then Nag Mahashaya said to his father, "If the mind is pure, then the Mother Ganga will appear here." Then at the auspicious hour of the holy bath, a jet of water rose, piercing the ground of his courtyard. Many of those who saw it are living today. But that was many years before I met him.
Swamiji: There was nothing strange in it. He was a saint of unfalsified determination. I do not consider such a phenomenon at all strange in his case.
Saying this, Swamiji, feeling sleepy, lay on his side. At this the disciple came down to take his supper.
