The Guru and his disciple
'Through his college days, Naren became increasingly restless with religion. Primarily because he believed that if there was God, one should be able to experience him. He rejected practices that could not stand the scrutiny of reason.
When he met Ramakrishna, his spontaneity, purity of mind and renunciation greatly impressed Naren. But he remained skeptical of everything that Ramakrishna told him. Naren tested his Guru in various ways, and asked him challenging questions. Shri Ramakrishna, with his infinite patience and compassion, guided him gradually, into the deepest secrets of spirituality. '
