This particular incident is recorded in the editorial and published in the book "Jivan Mandan (જીવન મંડાણ)". Jivan Mandan is a collection of letters written by Pujya Shree Mota to a lady devotee. Editors asked the question to this lady devotee.
------------------------------
Editors : How did you come in the contact with the writer (Pujya Shree Mota) of this book? You did not know the writer at all and had no prior contact with him.
Lady devotee : Let me tell you the story in detail. My older daughter had brought a book of poems from her friend to read and this book stayed in my room for several days. One day when I was laying in my bed this book fell on me when sudden gust of the wind pushed the book from the window seal to my bed. The book laid open and it had prayers and poems on the open page. I read these poems at the time and factually experienced my mental condition at the time described in these prayers and poems. I started reading the prayers written in this book Hradaya Pokar (હ્દય પોકાર) since then. I did have the wish to know more about the author of the book but some time did pass by. Some of my relatives were going on the pilgrimage in south India and I joined them. Even though we were not supposed to go to Kumbhkonam, by mistake we took that road. There we were invited by the owner of the jewelry shop to dine with them. When I was sitting in the room of the wife of the partner of the jewelry shop (whom I knew earlier) I saw the book Hradaya Pokar (હ્દય પોકાર) laying there. I was surprised by seeing this book. I asked her " How do you have this book with you?". She answered "Why should not I have this book? The writer of this book is staying with us". "If that is the case, then I would like to meet him" I said. Afterwards she called the writer of the book to meet me and since then I am in touch with him. I then started correspondence with him. The collection of these letters is being published in this book Jivan Mandan (જીવન મંડાણ).
