Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's Kalpataru Blessings

A beautiful incident from the life of enlightened master, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, is described in Sri Ramakrishna and His Divine Play:

It was 1 January 1886. Ramakrishna was walking on the garden path at Cossipore garden in West Bengal, Bharat. He asked one of the disciples, 'What have you seen and understood about me that makes you say to everyone all these things like I am an incarnation?'

The disciple knelt down to Ramakrishna and replied, 'What more can I say of Him? Even the sages Vyasa and Valmiki could find no words to measure His glory!'

Ramakrishna was so touched by the disciple's sincere faith that he just said, 'What more do I need to tell you? I bless you all. May you all be illumined!' He went into a state of deep ecstasy having uttered these words. He touched each devotee in the state of overwhelming compassion and grace and blessed each with the divine touch. There were many disciples who have recorded their memorable experiences of gifts bestowed by Existence on this day of 'Kalpataru darshan'.
