The spiritual state of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

While talking about his spiritual state, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa said, "The Divine Mother has put me in a state of a devotee. She has also put me in a state of a 'vijnani'. That's why I indulge in light-hearted fun with youngsters like Rakhal (Swami Brahmananda). Had She placed in the state of a 'Jnani' it would not be possible."
