When Sri Ramakrishna was in Shyampukur being treated for cancer, while in samadhi he travelled in his subtle form to see the Durga Puja at Surendra Mitra's house. He told his devotees: "A luminous path opened from this place to Surendra's house. I saw the presence of the Divine Mother in the image; She had been evoked by Surendra's devotion. A ray of light beamed forth from her third eye! Rows of lamps were lit before the goddess in the worship hall. In the courtyard Surendra was crying piteously 'Mother, Mother!' All of you go to his house right now. When he sees you he will regain his peace of mind."
Narendra and some others bowed down to the Master, then left for Surendra's house. When they asked Surendra, they learned that what the Master had seen in samadhi was correct. The Master had indeed gone there in his luminous body to bless Surendra.
