Narendranath as a devotee to Ramakrishna

Sometimes in 1884, Ramakrishna was sitting surrounded by his devotees. Narendranath also was present there. Various spiritual talks, interspersed with merriment, were going on. There arose the topic of Vaishnava religion in the course of the conversation and explaining briefly the essence of that doctrine to all, Ramakrishna said, " That doctrine teaches that one should always careful to observe three things, namely; a taste for god's name, kindness to all beings and the service of the Vaisnavas. God is what his name is.Knowing the non-difference between the name and the possessor of the name, one should always take His name with love and devotion. Knowing the identity of the devotee and the divine, of the Vaishnava and Krishna, one should always respect, worship and salute holy men,the devotees. And one should have the conviction in one's heart that the whole universe belongs to Krishna; and therefore, one should have compassion for all beings than he suddenly went into ecstasy. Regaining partial normal consciousness in a short time, he continued , " Talks of compassion for beings! Insignificant creatures that you are, how can you show compassion to beings? WHo are you to show compassion? You wretch, who are you to bestow it? No, no; It is not compassion to Jivas but service to them as Sivas."
None but Narendranath alone, coming out of the room at the end of Ramakrishna's ecstasy, said, " Ah1 what a wonderful light have I got today from my Master's  words.!"
