Reminiscences

Around March - April ShriMaharaj said to my *father, 'Kaka, I want to speak to you about something of prime importance,' At   intervals ShriMaharaj repeated these words to him three times. My father was waiting for ShriMaharaj to speak to him. He said to ShriMaharaj, 'I am ready any time. Call me whenever you please.' The matter rested there. On twentieth August, my mother passed away after delivery. Fifteen minutes before she passed away she sent for the doctor and told him, 'I am going to pass away after fifteen minutes.' The doctor felt embarrassed. On being asked whether her son and hus­band be sent for immediately, my mother said, 'No; it is not necessary to call anyone. I am very happy and I am passing away quite contented.' Her contented state at the time of passing away greatly affected the doctor's mind. After my mother passed away ShriMaharaj came spe­cially to see my father to condole with him. At that time he said to my father, 'Kaka, it was about this matter that I had told you thrice that I wanted to speak to you. But I felt embarrassed to tell you about it, and I remained tongue - tied.'
