What’s wrong, Son?

Can’t you sleep?

No, mother

The mosquitoes are biting me

Aren’t they biting you too?

Yes, they are

Then why don’t you kill them?

Oh my dear son

the poor thing just takes its share, and leaves

It’s not like he comes asking for extra tiffin

or anything, my dear

Now that he’s here

let him eat before he goes, at least

But what if it bites us?

Look, son, our body is such that

it should not hurt anyone

Whoever comes should leave with happiness

Do you understand?

Yes, mother

This child’s name is Ambalal

The values that Ambalal received

from his mother Zaverba were such that

from a very young age

he decided that

Whoever comes to me

should receive some happiness from me

Ambalal, will you go to the market today?

Yes, mother

What do I need to get?

Bring a bunch of tuvar (pigeon pea) pods

And yes, don’t forget the chilies

You like bhajiyas (fritters), right?

Yes, mother

The market is far

So let me also

bring the vegetables for the neighbor

That way, they won’t have to go

and their work will be done too

Puniba! Oh, Puniba!

I’m going to the market

If you need anything

then let me know

It’s good that you asked

Bring me any vegetable you find

Dear, please drop this postcard

in the mailbox on your way!

So many tasks in one trip

Now it’s worth it!

Ambalal found great joy in helping others

Even while traveling by car

if the car was empty

he felt it was a wasted trip

So, he would ask people on the road

if they needed a ride

and would take them along

Even while sitting in the bus

he would stand up

and offer his seat to someone else

At the age of twenty-two

his friends gave him the title of Superhuman

We have seen superheroes in movies

but Dadashri used to say that a

Superhuman is someone who

even though they need happiness for themselves

gives it to others

or despite facing harm

helps others in times of trouble

Dadashri’s entire life was spent

for the happiness of others

The desire for the salvation of others

always remained in his heart

Then, suddenly, one evening in June 1958

In just one hour

he attained such Knowledge that

the mysteries of the entire universe were revealed

He found the answers

to every question in the world

He experienced a bliss so unimaginable

one that, once attained, never fades away

After attaining this Knowledge

Dadashri had only one desire

May the entire world attain the same bliss

I have attained
