Narendranath and Ramakrishna (contd-3)

Narendranath paid his third visitto Dakshineswarprobably in mid Jan 1882. Ramakrishna took him for a walk to the adjacent garden of Jadunath Mallik. After a stroll hey went inside the Mallik's house  and sat down in the parlor.
Sri Ramakrishna went into a trance and touched Naren who became unconscious.
Rama krishna said, " I put several questions to him while he was in that state. I asked him about his antecedents and where he lived, his mission in this world and the duration of his mortal life.
He dived deep into himself and gave fitting answer to this question.

They only confirmed what I had seen and inferred about him. Those things shall be a secret, but I came to know that he was a sage who had attained perfection, a past master in meditation, and that the day he knew his real nature, he would give up the body through Yoga, by an act of will."

Naren was said to not remember anything of his unconscious state, but when he came to, he saw the Master stroking his chest.
