________________ 141 of this epoch-making revolation which is free from the rays of Rights and-Destruction, inculcates in every individual a faith in the spirit and morality in & non-communal atmosphere, will surely infuse moral ideals in the masses. It is also a laid down fact, once the individuals are improved, societies which are composed of individuals will automatically be improved, and once this coinage come into currency there would again be the birth of the happy Bharata of the golden period. In spite of His being the acharaya and supreme head of the sect, He belongs to all, and over and above that, He maintains the flow of thought of universal aplift. The principles He propounds and preaches are such that can easily be followed by each and every individual. It is in this way a layman can lead a peaceful virtuous life while striving for the attainment of 'Moksha', one's ultimate goal. It is in His presence that each and everyone gets so much joy and happiness of the soul, peace and tranquilty of the mind, that nobody likes to take leave of Him. It is in His presence that one is encouraged to feel either he or she living altogether in a different domain. As for me, I saw in Him a rare soul, a blend of a poet, prophet and lover of mankind He is the kind of man that the world desires and needs most today. A veritable rare gem of the desert really destined to be the unique one of the world at large.
