For several years he served the three Masters as Secretary, very creditably and devotedly. His exceptional intellect, utter humility, simple living, abiding love and bondless devotion, had greatly endeared him to the public and his high sense of duty and sterling honesty had earned for him great merit and reputation with Government. Through the grace of his Gracious Satguru, he had been blessed with the wealth of both the worlds.

Bhatnagar has translated this Diary into English eliminating such portions as would be of little interest to the Western mind, Mr. Joseph Leeming of Washingon (USA) has carefully edited the translation and Miss Louise Hilger of Chicago (USA) has typed the manuscript. Prof. Bhatnagar has seen the book through the press and we are greatly beholden to them all for their labour of love in the service of the Master.
