offer blessing to both the friends. They took a leave from the upaashray and started climbing downstairs.

Is there anything so special in this story? No, not at all!
It's a simple incident in which two individuals arrive in the upaashray, worship their Gurudev and leave. Then why am I presenting it to you? Because, there's one person who is uncommon in our regular religious environment... who is Hasan Ali! While they were climbing the steps down, he said to Girishbhai, "Dear! The hand-lines of your Gurudev are simply unique! I'm sure he must be a holder of a giant empire and a bounteous of crores of rupees!"
Hasan Ali was a scholar in astrology. Although he was an examiner of plenty of hand-lines, he hadn't come across such special one. Knowing his friend's attraction towards. his Gurudev, Girishbhai clarified, "Dear! You are absolutely correct! Although he owns not even a single coin of paisa, he inspires and makes people donate crores of rupees!" Hearing this, Hasan Ali re-arrived in the upaashray to have a special examination of Dharmasuri Maharaj's hands. Practically, Dharmasuri Maharaj was having no curiosity in it, but if by doing that, a person gets attracted towards Jainism, and then nothing is wrong. With a will to fulfill Hasan Ali's desire,
Temples formed with the inspiration of Dharmasuri Maharaj
he said, "Hasan! I have no problem in displaying my hand to you, but even you are liable to fulfill my wish." He had spoken those words with extreme politeness and affection.
His immaculate words did the miracle on Hasan Ali. He instantly replied, "Surely Gurudev! This Hasan is zealous to accept any of the vows you offer." Dharmasuri Maharaj replied, "Ok then! Get ready to accept the vow of not consuming non-vegetarian food items for life-time!"
Is he serious? Is he 100% sure that he is commanding these words to a Muslim individual? My goodness, even after we provide a long-logical introduction, The Jains itself don't get ready to bate the consumption of kandmul. They keep on demanding concessions and give excuses if they are purposely made to accept the vow! Just imagine, if the Jains aren't ready to forsake the food items strictly prohibited in their religion, how would a Muslim individual, with an impromptu, would get ready to abandon non-veg food for lifetime?
Although it looks impossible, that Muslim Hasan Ali got ready to accept the vow in just a fraction of seconds! What a splendid daring and flabbergasted success! Even Hasan Ali would have not expected that he would perform this impossible fate in his life with such a rapid decision! He too accepted Dharmasuri Maharaj as his Gurudev for lifetime like Girishbhai and kept worshipping him once in every
Chaturmas no matter wherever he would be.
