Baba’s Mahasamadhi is not a matter for regret from His own standpoint or from his bhakta’s. Baba’s point of view always was that He was Narayana, that He was Kabir, etc, – always spending out His energy for promoting the best interests of others, ‘Paropakarya Satham Vibuthayah”. It is for blessing others that saints live or take birth after birth especially as a guru – Sadguru.
Alike from Baba’s standpoint and that of the devotee, His altruistic activities constitute the real essence of his personality and these still continue. Before casting off His fleshy cloak, He assured the devotees that He was deathless and that after His so called death, He would be as vigorous and helpful as ever. Thousands of devotees since 1918 have experienced the truth of His statement. Apart from the worldly help He has rendered. He has still been rendering spiritual help, not the least of which is His standing at the deathbed and guiding the devotee’s soul in the afterlife.
