Signs of God-vision

A DEVOTEE: "How can a man get rid of his ego?" 

MASTER: "You cannot get rid of it until you have realized God. If you find a person free from ego, then know for certain that he has seen God." 

DEVOTEE: "What, sir, are the signs of God-vision?" 

MASTER: "Yes, there are such signs. It is said in the Bhagavata that a man who has seen God behaves sometimes like a child, sometimes like a ghoul, sometimes like an inert thing, and sometimes like a madman. 

The man who has seen God becomes like a child. He is beyond the three gunas; he is unattached to any of them. He behaves like a ghoul, for he maintains the same attitude toward things holy and unholy. Again, like a madman, he sometimes laughs and sometimes weeps. 

Now he dresses himself like a dandy and the next moment he goes entirely naked and roams about with his cloth under his arm. Therefore he seems to be a lunatic. Again, at times he sits motionless like an inert thing." 

- Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 451-52 (15 June 1884)
