Shrimadji's parents Ravjibhai and devbai were both courteous and kind hearted.
They willingly served monks, holy men and all such pious souls, who, in turn blessed them.
Shrimadji's mother Devbai came from a Jain family and had been brought up with Jain culture and values, particularly a strong sense of friendliness and compassion to all living beings.
An aged broker, who used to visit Ravjibhai for business, one day fell ill.
Devbai nursed him back to health.
The broker, treated as one of the family, was very much touched.
When he recovered from his illness he parted with the words :
"Devbai! My blessings are with you.
May God bless you with an extraordinary child."
One who dedicates his life to the service of humanity, always finds fulfillment in life.
When service is rendered with no motive other than to help others, it is the highest type of service and will not go without reward.
Devbai's selfless service was rewarded with the birth of a wonderful son...
