The life sketch of Shrimadji published by 'pioneer' states as under.
"When He was twenty-one, He took to business and in a very short period He gained the credit of being a capable jeweller.
The cares of flourishing business, however, did not keep Him away from the philosophical study, which was at His heart.
While remaining in business He was quietly increasing His treasure of knowledge.
He always stayed in the midst of books.
Moreover, for a few months in a year He used to go out of Bombay instructing His firm that no one should correspond with Him unless He wrote for that.
He used to resort to solitary life in the forests of Gujarat and spend days and weeks in contemplation and meditation.
He continually tried to remain unknown so that no one would identify Him or the place of His resort.
Still He was frequently identified and large number of people used to follow Him with eagerness to listen His teachings."
