Guru Atam, foresight of Guru Vallabh and devotion to Guru of Guru Samuder-the confluence of the three found manifestation in her personality. She possessed the befitting quality of Mahatma-the qualities of taking decisions even in the most tiring and difficult circumstances. Motilal Nehru once said, "There are some people who work while there are others who want to grab the credit". Sadhvi ji belonged to the former category of people who are always busy in their work.
Today when the values of life are uncertain, man i guided by ego, young people lack the creative direction, man is helplessly caught in the snares of bad traditions and vices, man is restless in the poisonous atmosphere of Pancham Kal, she proved to be a dawn to dispel the darkness surrounding man. She forged a clear path for man to walk on, a path bearing the footprints of great men. This path is both thorny and fragrant. This is not covered with flowers but it gives off soul's sweet fragrance. Here there are no musical cascades but man himself becomes a cascade. The world survives, man faces joys and sorrows with perfect calmness and despair changes into hope as a result of sacrifices of holy saints like her, life becomes worth living. She gave respect to every human being. She never rested till she accomplished the task. The pledge fulfilment of mission at the cost of the body had become a part and parcel of her life. That is why she always achieved success She practised what she preached. She never held out any false assurance to anybody. She always respected men of letters, artistes and scholars. Helping the Jains, widows, the helpless, the orphans and the students secretly was her daily routine. She was above the narrow walls of province, sex, race or religion. In reality, the credit of making her an embodiment of virtues and goodness goes to her mother Guru Sadhvi Sheelwati ji Maharaj.
