________________ 202 The Divine Touch of a Pre-eminent Personality The Essence of His Ambrosial Words The penance with which Mahatma Gandhi conducted himself for thirty long years to make India free from political bondage through the mass struggles consisting of adherence to truth and non-violence is a unique achievement, which remains unparalleled in the history of the world. This was a result of the closeness with which Gandhiji and Shrimad had come together in their lives and the true guidance that the former received from the latter from time to time. This has been adequately reflected in the speeches and in the writings of Mahatma Gandhi on Shrimad Rajchandra. That is how Shrimad Rajchandra had contributed spirituality in the process of building up of a new India. The very revered Mahatma Gandhi has been immortalised in the history of India's independence struggle, similarly the name of Shrimad Rajchandra comes first and foremost in the life story of Mahatma Gandhi. In this modern age, the presence of such eminent persons has become extremely rare in this world, so we can consider it our good fortune if we can see them in flesh and blood. Our country should be considered most fortunate for this. Such great souls become role models for all of us. Let us follow their path in our life in its true spirit. If we really do that, it will illuminate our own lives and will lead to perfect contentment for us. Raichandbhai's life was that of a householder when viewed in physical terms, but in truth, he was completely detached from the worldly affairs so much so that he actually lived a perfectly spiritual life. This is manifested in his devotional poetic compositions, in his letters and writings that adequately reflect his inner thoughts. - Shri Amarchand Mavji Shah Litterateur
