________________ Attainment of self-realisation If there was one aspect of Shrimad's life that touched my life the most, it would have to be his intense and innate spiritual striving. Even in the early stages of his spiritual development to attain self-realisation, one could witness the intensity and sincerity of his efforts. While conversing with a customer in Mumbai's diamond market, he would be completely focused upon the transaction; but as soon as it was completed he would be engrossed within himself. Such dedication and steadfast focus upon his goal were the reasons for his high spiritual attainments in a short life span. Apart from the nature of the soul, all other matters were unnecessary bondage to him. This could be seen clearly in him. It was because of this striving that he attained self-realisation.
