It is about 8:00 p.m. and Thakur is ready toleave. One goes west through a roomdownstairs to a verandah in the courtyard.With the cowshed on the right, one comes tothe main gate. When Thakur goes with thedevotees through the verandah toward the maingate, the brahmin woman calls out, “I say,sister-in-law, come quickly and take the dust ofhis feet!” Both the brahmin woman’s sister-inlawand one of her brothers salute SriRamakrishna.The brahmin woman says to Thakur, “This isone of my brothers. He is a fool!”Sri Ramakrishna — No, no. They are all goodpeople.A person shows the path with a lantern, butsome places are not sufficiently lit.The Younger Naren calls out loudly, “Bringthe light here! Show the light here! Youhaven’t lit the path well enough.” (All laugh.)At the cowshed, the brahmin woman says toThakur, “This is my house for cows.” Thakurstops for awhile in front of the cowshed. Thedevotees are all around him. Mani prostratesbefore Thakur to salute him and takes the dustof his feet.Thakur will now visit Ganu’s mother [2] .Chapter IISri Ramakrishna at the home of Ganu’s mother
