A college student used to visit Mother's place quite frequently. One day, while taking leave of her he suddenly said, "Mother, I am no good for this place; I am unfit to come to you. I am saying goodbye forever!" He quickly left the house. Mother ran after him, caught his shirt, and pulling him toward her she put her hands on his shoulders. Looking at him eye to eye she said in a firm voice, "Whenever any disturbing thought comes to your mind, think of me. Don't worry!" With those words she let him go. While going home the boy repeated Mother's words over and over again: "Think of me; think of me; think of me." He couldn't forget those two beautiful compassionate eyes of the Mother. Constantly he thought of those eyes of the Mother and those words, "Think of me."
(He became a monk later on and led a very exemplary life. He narrated this incident to a brother monk who is presently a senior member of the Ramakrishna Order)
