Brahmananda had collected some teachings of Sri Ramakrishna in Bengali, which were first serially published in the Udbodhan and later translated into English under the title Words of the Master. During this visit to Varanasi he completed the book. When he was working on the manuscript of those teachings he would not allow anybody to stay in his room. Sometimes Maharaj would get up at midnight and ask his attendant to bring the manuscript to him. Once, after correcting it, he said, “The Master came and told me: ‘I didn’t say that. I said this.’” Saradananda wrote in his introduction to that book: “The present brochure is from the pen of one who was regarded by the Master as next to Swami Vivekananda in his capacity for realizing religious ideals. It is indeed the work of grateful love of the beloved disciple — one who, more than anyone else, lived constantly with the Master — to set the Master correctly before the public, seeing how his invaluable words are being roughly handled, deformed, and distorted nowadays at the hands of many.” (Source: God Lived with Them)
