The Self Realization
Once Srimad, at his age of ten, accompanied Sri Dharasibhai a judge of Morbi state from Morbi to Rajkot. During the travel Sri Dharasibhai was much impressed by the unusual talents of Rayachand a boy of ten, and by way of admiration Dharasibhai suggested that Rayachand should stay with him in Rajkot. But Raychandbhai preferred staying at his maternal uncles' house but he promised to meet Dharasibhai often during his stay in Rajkot. While Raychandbhai was taking lunch at his maternal uncles' house, his maternal uncles came to know from him the arrival of Dharasibhai in Rajkot and they were loudly planning to kill Dharasibhai. Rayachandbhai heard this and lost no time to meet Dharasibhai and wam him about the criminal intentions of his matemal uncles. This is how this boy of ten returned the obligation to Dharasibhai.
Raychandbhai by his mystic powers of clairvoyance and telepathy, mind reading etc. learnt that two persons from Kutch were on their way to Rajkot to meet him. So he requested Dharasibhai to allow these two guests to put up with him and Dharasibhai readily agreed to do so. Thereon Raychandbhai went to receive the two guests and welcomed them by their names. When the guests asked him as to how he knew their names and about their coming to meet him, he replied that all this was possible by the infinite powers of the Soul that he possessed. The two guests named Hemrajabhai and Malsibhai having heard of the exceptional talents of Raychandbhai had come to persuade the latter to go to Kashi for higher learning but when they knew of the wonderful spiritual powers possessed by Raychandbhai they dropped their idea. Dharasibhai was much impressed by this incident and gradually he began to respect Raychandbhai.
