"Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of action and bidding an affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my Commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life,"
"All good things must come to an end," (Maharishi)said haltingly as he looked bleakly at them. "The best thing that has ever come to me is the honor and privilege of having commanded the World Plan . . . Good-bye, God bless you and Jai Guru Dev." 'I cannot come to each of you but shall feel obliged if each of you will come and take me by the hand.' (NadarRam) being nearest to him turned to the guru who, suffused in tears, was incapable of utterance but grasped his hand when they embraced each other in silence. In the same affectionate manner every teacher in the room marched up and parted with his guru. Such a scene of sorrow and weeping I had never before witnessed and fondly hope I may never be called to witness again." -history records
