Now, Jinabhai passed his days and nights in the temple. He worshipped the Lord with single-minded devotion. Jina would also serve the saints during their short stays in Dhari. All of them were pleased with his service and would bless him. Jinabhai, attending school, passed the standard VII exams. At that time Shri Krishnacharandas Swami along with his group of saints visited Dhari. On seeing the saints, Jinabhai was extremely pleased. He was in their service from early morning till late night. He would get up early in the morning and have his bath. After completing his morning prayers he would attend to the needs of the saints. He helped them by drawing water from the well for their bath. He would sweep the temple floor, and neatly arrange the mats for the saints to sit and meditate upon. He served them all through out the day.
Sadguru Krishnacharandas Swami was a blessed follower of Shri Gunatitanand Swami, the incarnation of Akshar Brahman. He was gratified to see the devotion of Jinabhai, and appreciated the zeal with which he worked. He also found that Jinabhai, though often very tired, never stinted in his daily duties and services at the temple.
One morning, while giving prasad to Jinabhai he asked him : "Jina, would you like to be a saint ?" Jinabhai was filled with joy at Swami's question. He replied eagerly : "Yes Swamiji, I would be happy if you would make me a sadhu. It is my only ambition in life. For the last few days, I was hoping to talk you about it but today, you yourself have read my secret wish. Swamiji, please initiate me as a saint. I want to serve the Lord and also you, whom I regard as my guru."
Swami Krishnacharandasji blessed him and said : "Your wish will be fulfilled."
