During Sri Ramakrishna’s last days, when he was stricken with throat cancer, Durga Charan rarely went to visit him because he could not bear to see his beloved Master suffer. One day when he did go to pay his respects to him, Sri Ramakrishna said: “Oh, you have come. Look, the doctors have failed. Can you do anything to cure me?” Durga Charan reflected for a moment and then resolved to transfer the Master’s disease to his own body. He said in an inspired mood: “Yes, sir, I know how to cure you. By your grace I will do it right now.” But as he approached, the Master understood his motive and pushed him away, saying, “Yes, I know you have that power to cure the disease.” (Source: They Lived with God)
