At that time, Shri Ramakrishna was lost in the divine ecstasy born out of singing glory of Shri Krishna. He had lost the consciousness of self and was rolling on the ground, shedding tears, and chanting repeatedly the Divine Name of Shri Krishna. Looking at Shri Ramakrishna, the greatest of sadhus, the ocean of love and Bhakti and the fountain of mercy, Madhurantatha was so pleasantly surprised that he could not do anything other than watching him standing spell-bound with folded hands. Gaining consciousness, after sometime, Ramakrishna approached Madhuranatha with kindness and joy, and uttered these sweet words shedding tears.
Shri Paramahamsa said
Oh! Blessed one! You seem to be very good and firm. Please show mercy on me. I did not notice your arrival as I was maddened by the sweetness of Bhakti and was immersed in joy. I have become unfit to do Hari Pooja here regularly. I have become so absorbed in prima Bhakti that I have almost turned mad. Oh! Great man! Please relieve me of this post.
Madhuranatha said
Oh! The best of Vishnu bhaktas! You stand as an example to all the priest. I am always happy to see you. I am so pleased with you. Oh! The greatest of vaishnavas! The Lord, the Ocean of mercy, never expects in the Pooja performed by a prima bhakta, any ritualistic routine prescribed by the Shastras. Hence, oh, the head of the bhaktas! You continue to perform the Pooja of both Shri Krishna and the Goddess, offering any of these things, holy leaves, flowers, water or fruits.
