_______

" My fond desire is that
everyone should sincerely take
to the practice of


Namasmarana
"

________


There was a person
who had lived long with

Shri Maharaj.

_About a fortnight
before casting off the mortal body,

Shri Maharaj
said to him,

" Commonly the eldest son
stays in the company of his father
for a great deal of time.
Other siblings often stay in distant places,
and are in their father's company
for a relatively shorter time.
_
Because of the close association
with his father,
the eldest son is well aware of
his likes and dislikes.
In such a case,
the eldest son has a duty to perform
after the death of his father, that is,
to further the prestige of the family,
he should inform his younger siblings
of their father's likes and dislikes
and to behave accordingly.
"

Shri Maharaj
further said,

" One can not foretell when Death may strike.
You are in the know of my likes and dislikes
because of our close association.
_
You should tell others about them.
If one were to ask about my likings,
then I have only one keen liking,
and that is that

everyone should sincerely observe

Namasmarana,
and never fail to remember
Rama. "
_
" So
freely tell everyone

about this fondness of mine.
