Another small story about Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa:

It is said, that whenever Ramakrishna saw someone from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu"s place, he would fall at his or her feet.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was a great Enlightened Master from India.

On one such occasion, when Ramakrishna fell at someone"s feet, the people around him asked him why he fell at ordinary mortals" feet.

He replied, “Whether they are ordinary or extraordinary, it does not matter. They are from Baanigaati – where Chaitanya did an important sankeertan. The moment I hear that they are from there, the very name creates memories of Chaitanya in me, that is enough. I pay my gratitude to them by falling at their feet for having brought Chaitanya to my mind. If I had not met them, in those moments, I might have been thinking of something else unworthy. They are therefore instruments through whom divine memories and ideas are kindled in me.
