On another occasion when Devendra visited Dakshineswar, the Master said to him: “You see, I am thinking deeply of a woman whom I have not seen for a long time.” This immediately created a doubt in Devendra’s mind. Then the Master told his nephew Ramlal to give Devendra some rasagollas (sweet cheese balls), saying that they had been sent to him by the woman who loved him so much. Devendra’s doubt deepened as he ate the rasagollas. After a while Sri Ramakrishna expressed a desire to go to Jadu Mallick’s house in Calcutta to see that woman. He not only asked Devendra to lend him a rupee for the carriage fare, but also invited him to come along. Devendra readily assented. Young Latu (later Swami Adbhutananda) went with them. As they rode in the carriage, the Master saluted temples, mosques, the women in the street, and even a tavern. To the Master all women were forms of the Divine Mother, and again it was She who gave joy to the barroom drinkers. Tapping Devendra’s knee, the Master said, “Look, I don’t disturb anyone’s faith.”
As soon as the carriage reached Jadu’s house, Sri Ramakrishna went directly to the women’s section by himself. This strengthened the doubt in Devendra’s mind still more. A little while later Devendra and Latu were invited into the women’s section for some refreshments. There Devendra saw an elderly woman seated on a carpet in front of the Master, who was eating a plateful of assorted sweets. The Master was behaving just like a five-year-old boy. Devendra realized then that this woman had a motherly attitude towards the Master, as Mother Yashoda had for her baby Gopala (Krishna). The elderly woman said to the Master: “My son, many years ago I read in the Sri Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita about how Chaitanya’s mother used to feed her son. Since then I would think that if I could be Chaitanya’s mother I could feed him. What great fortune I have today! My son, I never dreamed that you would come today and fulfill my cherished desire!” Saying this, the woman wept as she fed the Master with her own hand.
The Master was all-knowing, and he took this opportunity to remove the doubt in Devendra’s mind. But Devendra was conscience-stricken because he had doubted the Master. Later he learned that the elderly woman was Jadu Mallick’s mother. (Source: They Lived with God)
