During the last ten days Prabhushri used to move among the hills, caves and woods in various directions of Abu. As the liberation-seekers followed him, there used to take place unique devotional worship. Once they had been to Anädarä Point. There Prabhushri started reciting 'Mool Märag Sambhalo Jinano Re' (Listen to the original path of the omniscient Lords) and all others had followed while going around him. Marvelous devotional worship had thus taken place. On the way back Prabhushri had asked them to chant Mantra-Smaran or recite 'Shuddhata Vichäre Dhyave' (Think and ponder over the purity)
Such devotional worship also used to take place at Arbudädevi, Sunset Point, Cross Point, Dedkisheelä near Rämkund, Traver Lake, Pändav Cave, Vasishtha Asharm etc. That was carried on for hours and everyone stayed excited under its impact. Once while Atmasiddhi Poojan was being performed at Vasishtha Ashram, Prabhushri got exhilarated and spoke out:
"Koi Madhav Lo, Hän Re Koi Mädhav Lo Mädhavne Matukiman Ghäli, Gopijan Latake Chali; Hän Re Koi Mädhav Lo, Achal Preme Mädhav Lo."
(Get the Lord, please get the Lord. Placing the Lord in the pot the cowgirl gracefully calls, we are dealing in the Lord, please get the same.')
Then he said, "It was wonderful devotion; Nirjarä (Eradication of Karma) also occurred. Did we have the affection, affection towards the Soul? That needs to be done." When they reached the camp, he asked everyone, "What did you notice there? Did you desire anything? Did you see soul? Did you visualize it?
After staying at Mt Abu for three months, Prabhushri went to Siddhapur Ashram of Ratnaräjshri for a couple of days and then returned to Agäs.

The physical condition of Prabhushri deteriorated from the full moon day of Month of Mahä, Samvat 1992 (By the end of winter 1936). Doctors advised him to take complete rest; hence seeing, teaching, contacting etc. came to a close, though arrangements were later made to see him once during the day. Once Jesingbhäi said, 'My Lord, the children can get the presents, while we have to miss the same.' Prabhushri raised his hand and signaled that it is continuing. Then he said, "Everyone, young as well as old constitutes the soul; we need to see soul everywhere; one should have its impact; but who listens? Who gives attention? Whom to say? It is necessary to say to some selective
few."
In spite of poor health he had been to Näsik for a week by virtue of Karma or for the sake of a change and had come back on the ninth day of the month of Chaitra (About the month of April). By setting Agäs Ashram he had given concrete shape to the path resurrected by the Graceful Lord. As if that signaled the end of his mission, he gave the following instruction by way of entrustment ten days after his arrival.
"All this pertains to Ashram. Choonibhäi, Manibhäi, 'Let there be croutons in the soup'. Shall I say Manibhäi? Brahmachari after much time. I have nothing to say so long as this body lasts, but main entrusting relates to Brahmachäri. (To Brahmachäriji) 'Go to the portrait of Graceful Lord; after going round if one comes for SmaranMantra, that should be seriously looked into, his objective should be examined; if it is worth, the vow should be given to resort to commands of the Graceful Lord."
Whilespecifying the same thing to Brahmachärijee personally his detachment, disentanglement etc. were evident from his facial features, signaling of eyes etc. It seemed as if he was not speaking, yet the people had been listening the divine voice, “Confer Smaran-Manra, ask to recite 20 lyrics, Yam-Niyam, Kshamapana and to avoid seven addictions as well as seven non-eatables; I entrust the religion to you."
The next day he said, "For soul this is the festival of death, death itself is a festival."
