His mental journey saw the vast mountain Shatrunjaya and his entire heart and self as if bowed down in all devotion. His heart reached the hall of Shri Bhagavan Adinath's temple; he as if bowed down at the feet of Shri Dada.
The train and the variegated dreams were on. The train reached Songadh. Virat got down and proceeded in the unknown direction of the group that had got down from his own compartment. It was after he got down that he read the sign-board of the Songadh station. He wondered. "Why did I get down here; my destination is Shatrunjaya!" He returned but his steps refused to move. The foot-steps were anxious to follow that group which was on the move.
He tried hard to return to the train, but all in vain. His heart refused to return. The Navakara Mahamantra came to his mind and he ran towards the group that was running almost.
He was wondering. He had started his journey in train to go to Shatrunjaya; why was he running in an unknown direction? What was the unique attraction that inspired him? Why towards the group? Will his dreams remain unfulfilled ? Virat looked at the group; it was proceeding on and on!
Again his thoughts ran in the reverse direction. Will he fail to meet Shri Dada? Will he remain deprived of the happy touch of Shatrunjaya? But no, why should this happen? Let me proceed on the path of Songadh, positively to have the soothening and blessed touch of Shatrunjaya!
His thoughts came to a stop. The signals of the Songadh station were still visible and so was visible the black smoke of the engine of the train that had left.
