After the letter was finished Prabhushri showered the unique teaching for maintaining the distinction between the soul and body and to patiently bear the situation as mentioned in 'Samadhishatak'. After conferring unique awareness to him as Prabhushri left, Ravjibhäi told his wife that something marvelous had happened and left the body within five minutes.
The death in such quietude occurs by virtue of much wholesome Karma. Those, who had remained in contact with him and those, who had witnessed the end, should be considered fortunate. That death had deep impression on all those, who were residing in Ashram. They said that they had not witnessed such scene before. The impression that they had gained was to stay with them for long. It is hard to accurately describe the significance thereof; it was identical to a dumb' tasting sugar.
During August 1932 Muni Mohanlälji got a mortal disease. Prabhushri used to go to him frequently and lend the teaching that could lead to unique awareness. Mohanlälji was getting intense pain, but he could bear it patiently by virtue of Prabhushri's teaching. Once Prabhushri came out after conferring the awareness and said that the internal state of Mohanlälji had gone up very high; if he survived, he could be of much help to the people. Mohanlälji left eight days thereafter on September 6.
He was one of the seven monks, who had resorted to the Graceful Lord. While initially being instrumental in guiding the truth-seekers towards the right path, he had been of great help to the liberation-seekers. He was celibate for the entire life, and had stayed in obedience to Prabhushri since the beginning of Ashram. His exclusive faith, trust, devotion and loyalty to the Graceful Lord as well as his simplicity, absolute state and such other virtues are worth remembering. His obligation upon the Ashram and upon the liberation-seekers is also worth remembering. He had been a great support to Prabhushri in his old age.

Muni Mohanlälji was straightforward and had a very praiseworthy approach. He had addressed several letters to liberation-seekers in order to turn them towards the right path. Prabhushri had recommended some liberstion-seekers to memorize th following letter.
Tat Aum Tat
Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram, Agäs
My repeated Obeisance with intense devotion be to the true Guide, the conferor of unique refuge.
Tin Bhuvan Choodä Ratan, Sam Shri Jinake Pay; Namat Päyie Äp Pad, Sab Vidhi Bandh Nashäy
Feet of the Lord are like the most precious jewels of all the three worlds; Kneeling to them leads to self-realization and destroys all types of bondage.
Jnäni Ke Ajnäni Jan, Sukh Duhkh Rahit Na Koi; Jnäni Vede Dhairyathi, Ajnäni Vede Roi.
The enlightened as well as unenlightened are not devoid of happiness and unhappiness; the former bear it with patience, while the latter do that while crying.
The purified fraternal one,
This soul has been wandering within the four states of existence since the infinity. During that wandering it has mostly borne misery. By virtue of its identification with the body it feels afflicted and/or indulges in aversion while bearing the same. Thereby it acquires Karma, which would lead to the infinitely greater affliction than what it undergoes now. On account of its delusion it has been begging for worldly pleasure and comforts. It wants to get happiness, but it acquires infinite molecules of Karmic matter by indulges in wrong modes, by developing attachment for the objects of senses and by cultivating the sense of belonging for wealth etc.
