________________
The Self Realization
He had prepared an index on the Prajnavabodha in V. S. 1956 which was lately written by the late Sri Brahmachariji of Srimad Rajachandra Asram, Agas.
His Last Spiritual Stature In V. S. 1957 Srimad Rajachandra with his mother and wife stayed at Agakhan's residence in Ahmedabad. One day Sri Devakaranji Muni asked him the reason for reduction of his body to which he replied 'I am on a war path with my body as it took unwholesome food during my stay in Dharmapur.'
One day previous to his going to Vadhwan Camp he called Sri Lalluji and Sri Devakaranji to his residence in Agakhan's Bungalow at Ahmedabad and advised them to see no difference in him and in Sri Vardhman Mahavira.
On the day previous to his death at Rajkot, Srimad Rajachandra said to Sri Mansukhbhai, Sri Revashankarbhai, Sri Narbheram and others around him, "Be sure this soul is eternal, it is reaching increasingly higher stage, it has a very bright future. You remain quiet and behave with calmness and peace. I may not in future tell you with my tongue nor there is now the time for it. I only advise you to continue your efforts towards self-realization.
At 8-45 A. M. on Chaitra Vadi 5th V. S. 1957 he said to Sri Mansukhbhai, "Mansukh, Do not be afflicted, take care of mother, I retire to my soul's true nature". From 8-45 A. M. to 2 o'clock in the afternoon he lay on his death bed quiet as a machine, in deep meditation, and he left his body for ever.
Sri Lalluji Maharaj heard in Kavitha the sad news of his Guru's expiry and he retired to the fields in solitude and passed his day in dedication to the departed Guru.
