They lived. But time is powerful for everything. Until the time comes, even with countless efforts, that thing does not succeed.
Finally, after much waiting, that time came. Once upon a time, you had to go to the place Narowal for some work. While returning from there, you reached the bank of a river called 'Dek'. There was neither a bridge nor any boats on this river. Only a ferryman lived on the bank. He used to ferry the travelers from one side to the other and from the other side to this side. He agreed to ferry you too at your request. Two other men were also going to cross with you. The ferryman took the hands of all three and got into the river. When these people were still in the middle of the river, unfortunately or fortunately, the river flooded. Seeing this, the ferryman ran away to save his life and these poor people started drowning. At that time, understanding that the end was near, you thought that if I escape from this suffering at this time, I will leave the household life and take up the life of a monk. As soon as they thought about this, by divine grace or by the influence of their merits or by the long life-karma, you were pulled to the bank of the river by the force of that strong current. The remaining two companions were swallowed by the jaws of that current-like time.
Upon reaching home, you told everyone about your experience, which, upon hearing, your family members were overjoyed by the repetition of your life. But when you asked for permission to be initiated from them to fulfill your vow, the whole family became anxious and sorrowful. But what was to be done now? They had made a firm vow. Will a swan, once it has attained Mansarovar, desire to return from it? Many family obstacles could not deter them from their resolve. Not getting permission from home, you left worldly pursuits and took up residence in the Jain shrine to live a life dedicated only to religion. At the same time, Shri Dulooray Ji and Shri 1008 Pujya Sohनलाल Ji Maharaj, who were living at their maternal grandfather's house in Pasrur, also started living a religious life to make their lives holy. The mutual contact of these three individuals increased their detachment progressively. Finally, the family members did not hinder their spiritual progress much and they gave permission to these people to be initiated.
