earnestly, Guruji wrote only four words: “Main Nahin, Tu Hi”
(Not I, you alone). Uttering ‘Tu Hi’ were not mere words, they
displayed his dedication, his conduct in life. The entire life of
Guruji is encompassed in just these four words. The word ‘Tu’
(you) signifies Sangh, society and God. He had unified these
three together, they were one for him. There was no controversy,
no dispute in the service of anyone of these. ‘When you serve
one, you serve all’ was the motto of his life, and he kept himself
busy in the service of the Sangh, the whole society and the
nation. In other words, his life itself had transformed into work
for the society and nation. Therefore, in the second of the three
letters that he wrote in the final moments of his life, he wrote:
“I command the Swayamsevaks that no memorial should ever
be raised in my memory after my death.” You can see how
opposed he was to any kind of fame.

As the worthy son of Motherland, he always thought of
welfare. He did not wish to know the distinction who did and
who didn’t. I did but I don’t want a memorial for me, and he
was of this firm view. All his life, he did not get himself
photographed, nor did he allow slogans to be raised in his praise.
When he said ‘not I, you alone’ his faith in life was manifested
expressly. These were not mere words, they were the
manifestation of a whole Swayamsevak incarnate. This was the
dedication etched in the heart of the Param Pujya Guruji. He
always aspired that such sentiments of devotion to the
Motherland should reside in the heart of every Swayamsevak.

The Sangh Shiksha Varga for central Indian region was in
progress in Gwalior. Guruji attended this Varga for two days.
On this occasion, some Swayamsevaks went to present him a
copy of a book titled Rashtriya Suraksha Ke Morche Par (On the
Front of National Security). This book also mentioned of the
contribution of the Swayamsevaks of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh during the Indo-Pak war. The book
delineated in brief the details of renunciation and sacrifice made
by the Swayamsevaks. The Swayamsevaks felt that Guruji would
be happy to see this book and would shower his blessings.

However, the sentiment of devotion to Mother India
