in as much as it signifies the whole outlook and attitude of Paramanand Bhai. He was very artistic in his expression and he was as much devoted to the Beautiful as to the True and the Good in life. He was, in fact, the true, the good and the beautiful personified.
He said what he did and he did what he said. There was a complete fusion of the idea and the image in him. He was a loving husband to his wife, a friendly and understanding father to his daughters and what is most enchanting, a friend in the truest sense of the term. Personal friendship was not circumvented or circumscribed anywhere on account of difference of opinion. With friends he agreed to disagree. He said, one who does not allow the freedom of his thought and opinion to a friend, cannot be a real friend. Friendship does not mean the fusion of the two personalities but means a true and enduring understanding between the two and a living dialogue of convictions and experiences shared by each other with a view to help the process of thinking and growing for both. He was a true friend whom many, many of us will ever miss.
