November 9th 1979 brought
unexpected news. Yogeshwarji had a major heart attack and was admitted to
Vivekananda Hospital, Ahmedabad. Maa Sarveshwari heard the news and without
a second thought grabbed the golden chance to serve her spiritual master.
She send her resignation to the school authorities right from the hospital.
Earlier, on two occasions Maa
send her resignation but every time the school trustees rejected it by
saying: "The school needs your presence. It is a matter of great fortune for
the school to have a Principal like you." This time, however it was
different. Maa never returned to the Institute again. The management waited
for three months but had to accept the resignation. In their letter they
wrote, "The doors of the institution are forever open for you. You can come
back at any time. The school will always miss you."
At the hospital, Maa performed
exemplary service of Yogeshwarji, remaining awake for countless days and
nights. Shri Yogeshwarji's illness had to succumb to Maa's spontaneous and
intense services. Thereafter, Maa stayed forever with Shri Yogeshwarji. A
new chapter began in Maa Sarveshwari's spiritual Life. She left the limited
and small field of the school and entered into the vast field of service to
the humanity.
In Maa's own words, (English
translation of her composition) it was a divine play:
"By Playing a wonderful sport
Of the struggle between life
and death,
He called me closer to him,
And showered all his
blessings;
My master offered me
A Glass full of nectar" |
