Shrimad Rajchandra's Life Sketch
worries about earning a living and material posessions (aadhi, vyadh & upadhi). For the modern-day man or woman, sinking deepe and deeper into the quagmire of worldly issues, Shrimad became messenger for inner peace. Those for whom, religion had become means for ostentatious display of wealth and celebrating festivals Shrimad drew their attention towards reality. To sectarian preachers he became a beacon for the true path. To those seeking to conque lands based on merciless violence and wars, he showed the path non-violence. To those wallowing in a grossly materialistic lifestyle he became a poet highlighting the importance of the unprecedente spiritual opportunity to liberate oneself.
The divine glow of Shrimadji's life has spread far an wide around the globe and it will continue to enlighten the path fo spiritual development for all. It is no wonder then, that so many hav spoken out to express this:
“Like a boundless ocean of compassion, you have showered infinite grace upon us, what else can we offer you except our obeisance in return for showing us the distinction between matter and consciousness? May we stay at your lotus feet and cultivate the devotion to serve and thereby experience the uninterrupted bliss of the soul that you have shown us. We offer countless reverences at the feet of an enlightened soul like you who has completely lost the awareness of the body despite having one, and lived a life immersed in divine awareness.”
- Shrimad's disciple
Today, the fundamental path to liberation as shown by Shrimad ha indeed become the imperial royal route to eternal happiness.
