During his lifetime his adulation for Lord Mahavir and Gautam Swami, his reverence for Param Krupalu Dev Shrimad Rajchandraji and Param Pujya Bapuji made him fly on the path of spirituality. I am sure that with the blessings of all of them his soul must have reached great heights.
His last thoughts shared with his daughter Shailaja that "I can see the sea and two separate paths-one the AATMA and other the BODY" proves that he had SAMADHI MARAN - a death which all pious souls tong for.
My koti koti vandanas to him. His ever smiling face will always linger on in my memory. With sincere respect I pay homage to him.
His daughter of the spiritual world Shree Raj-Sobhag Ashram, Sayala.
जे य कंते पिए भोए लद्धे विप्पिट्ठि कुव्वई । साहीणे चयई भोए से हु चाइ ति वुच्चई ।।
(दसवैकालिक. 2-3) He, who has turned his back on all the available pleasing and dear objects of enjoyment and has voluntarily renounced them is a true renouncer.
मनोहर और प्रिय भोग उपलब्ध होने पर भी जो उनकी ओर से पीठ फेर लेता है और स्वाधीनतापूर्वक भोगों को. छोड़ता है वही त्यागी कहलाता है।
સરસ અને પ્રિય ભોગો ઉપલબ્ધ હોવા છતાં તેના તરફથી જે પીઠ ફેરવી લે છે અને સ્વાધીનતાપૂર્વક ભોગોનો ત્યાગ કરે છે તે જ ત્યાગી કહેવાય છે.
