lifetime of Pujya Gurudevshri is the indicator of our being near the shore of transmigratory ocean. One gets the association of such great Guru due to the rise of auspicious Karmas bound in several births. We have got the privilege of living with him and of listening to his divine discourses for crossing the transmigratory ocean. All this will act as a lamp for inspiring us to tread on the path of liberation.
In V. Samvat 2015 we got an opportunity of having pilgrimage of Siddhakshetra Shri Girnarji and other holy places of South along with Pujya Shri Kanji Swami. Subsequently too, we had a number of opportunities to have the pilgrimage of Shri Sammed Shikharji and other holy places along with our family members. Likewise, by other means and by utilising time and energy with zest, we decided to tread on the following path :
"Only work for liberation of soul and no other thing in
heart."

By leaving the land of our original birth, we went to the foreign land for earning wealth for the purpose of worldly pleasures. But we had the inner-urge for self-realisation. Once, in the year 1946, the inhabitant of Chelana, late Shri Dharmsibhai Devsibhai came to Africa and gave us an introduction of Pujya Gurudevshri by explaining his approach to religion. As a consequence, we developed interest in the Tattvas propagated by Pujya Gurudevshri. Therefore, we are highly greatful to him also.
We feel highly exalted by giving this little contribution towards the publication of this book.
We, can in no way repay the debt of gratitude of Pujya Gurudevshri. We pray that may this spirit of learning and devotion towards passionless Tattvas only last in us till the end of our life.
