The inexplicable joy experirnced by Shri Maneklalbhai on receiving Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra is described by him in a letter written to Shri Ambalalbhai on Aso vad 11, V.S. 1952.
" Recipant of rare satsang, endowed with many virtues, Shri Ambalalbhai, Nadiad.
With great humility, I express that the joy experienced on reading Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra is akin to that of a starved man presented with a delicious meal.
I have read the entire scripture once.
In extremely simple language, deep philosophical tenets have been imparted, whose explanation or translation can be done only by an Enlightened One or a great scholar.
Possessing neither the experience nor the scholarly knowledge, it is extremely difficult for me to expand on the meaning of this profound scripture.
But just as a goat who has befriended a lion, can ride even an elephant's head, with the Grace of the living Sadguru, I shall send you ten pages of the translation of this scripture as they are completed.
I do not have much linguistic knowledge, hence if there are any discrepancies in my thoughts, please do let me know."
Upon reading Shri Maneklal Ghelabhai Jhaveri's high praise of Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra and the deep impact it had left on him, one not only gets an inkling of his worthiness but also an insight into Shrimadji's ability to fathom a person's eligibility.
It also reveals the miraculous power of this scripture, capable of leading the worthy soul to attain great spiritual heights.
