In the last weeks of His life, the Master had been full of energy and creatively active with His artistic work. He had been lovingly and humorously engaging devotees. Longtime devotees had come to Naitauba to be with Him on retreat. Musicians from India had come to Naitauba to perform for Him. He had gathered with devotees and retreatants to view His art. In the final weeks of His earthly incarnation, His life and work had manifested a great ease. And, then just as spontaneously, gracefully, and mysteriously as everything else He had ever done the Great Master dropped the human body with the ease (as He Himself had predicted) of 'an apple falling from a tree'.
