ignore the fact that the Lord Himself in the form of these

During this visit, among the devotees who came into
intimate touch with Ramdas besides tfanjivraoand Ilatnakar,
were also Karnad Oopalrao, Durgaslumkar Upadhyaya as
also Haldipur Narayanarao. Hero, Janardun Pant separated
from Ramdas as he had to return to Nurkhed in Bholapur
district.
Hearing of Ramdas' arrival at Bombay Bhuderbluu and
Chhotabhai of Wadhwan came down to take him over to
their place.
In Wadhwan, as on the previous oocanion, he stayed
with Dr. Shxikla. The latter and his wife Shautibon bathed
him in the streams of their pure love. Bhajun, devotional
music by Chhotabhai and talks with the visitors who
assembled day after day to listen to the wovdn of Hawdas,
comprised the routine. At the request of the headmaster
of the place, he delivered a speech in their nohool hall on
universal love before the students who had assembled for
the occasion, and also paid visits to the Bala mandir-K.
Ramdas visited Zoravar Nagar where he Bpent a night
in the house of Chunibhai and also paid a visit to the
prominent congress leader of Kathiuwar, Manilal Kothari,
who was at the time ill and bed-ridden. Tie was delighted
to see Ramdas. In the course of conversation he asked
Ramdas whether he should continue to take part in politics
after recovery. He was much dispirited because Mahatmaji
was at the time in jail. He opened the talk with the remark
that he wished he had the same free awl blissful life which
Ramdas was leading. Ramdas replied that the work lie wa$
doing was great and noble. Worry comes in when any work,
political or otherwise, is done from a selfish motive. The
secret of liberation in action lies in doing all works without
the ego-sense. Here what is demanded of us is perfect
self-surrender through dedication of all our actions to the
Master power that controls the universe.
