One day at Church Lane, Maharaj was in a happy mood, and only my mother, my
wife, and I were sitting by his takhat. In that
atmosphere my mother asked him, "Baba, show me God." At once Baba said,
"You will see. You will see. You will see."
My
mother remained ill for a long time and suffered a lot. When her end
came, we observed many wonderful changes in her. All her suffering
disappeared, and a great tranquility was seen on her face. An
attractive radiance engulfed her. While she was in this blissful state,
I went to the prayer room and fetched the picture of Ram
durbar
(Lord Ram's court) that she worshiped daily and placed it before her
eyes. No sooner did she set eyes on it than she transcended herself.
Her eyes were fixed on that picture, and looking at it without
blinking, she passed away. My mother's joyful face and the lustre in
her eyes gave us the impression that she saw God personified in that
picture. All of us forgot the grief of parting, and overwhelmed by
emotion, we chanted the name of Ram. This event took place after
Maharaj's Mahasamadhi.
