As Sri Ramakrishna’s health was steadily deteriorating, the doctor advised him to move outside of the city, where the air would be better. Consequently, a beautiful garden house was found in Cossipore, and the move was made on 11 December 1885. An arrangement was made whereby the householder disciples of the Master would contribute money for his treatment, his food, and to pay the rent. The young unmarried disciples, the nucleus of the future monastic order, would then manage the household, including the nursing and shopping. After a while some of the householder disciples noticed that the expenditures were gradually increasing. They accused the young men of carelessness and asked that the account book be strictly maintained. The young disciples, however, were offended by this and decided not to accept any more money from those householders. When the situation became tense and critical, Girish came forward with a solution: He simply set fire to the account book in front of everyone. Then he told the householder disciples to contribute each according to his capacity, and he would make up the deficit. To the monastic disciples he said: “Don’t worry. I shall sell my house if necessary and spend every bit of money for the Master.” (Source: They Lived with God)
