Shri Chordia began to come to Shri Nathji every day in Bombay. He would frequently take Shri Nathji, Mateshwari and the children for a drive in his car. His faith in Mateshwari was intense.
He would say to Shri Nathji:
You are complete, like Rama-Mar­yaada Purshottam–the perfect man! But there is one thing you must repent for–the manner in which you, as Lord Rama, sent Sita Maharani away from yourself on the mere gossip of a dhobi, as is portrayed in the Ramayana.
“Please do not let it be repeated in Mateshwari’s time. All I ask of you is to keep Mateshwari pleased at all times. We cannot come to you directly. We must come to you through our Divine Mother. Whenever I wanted anything, it was from Mateshwari.
“I prayed to her to make my faith firm in you. I prayed to Paarvati to grant me the love and devotion–the bhakti–of Lord Shankar. Many a time my mind began to waver, and I saw my faith in the doldrums, and was filled with grief at seeing myself swerve from the path.
“To save myself from this nerve-racking feeling I took a piece from Mateshwari’s plate, thaali. It was the prasaad that filled me with such inner strength, that I have never faltered since then. What greater proof could exist of Mateshwari’s divine power and her blessings than this!
Once, there were tears in the eyes of Mateshwari for reasons known only to her. Shri Chordia saw the tears and ran immediately to Shri Nathji:
Huzoor! he said, there are tears in the eyes of the Divine Mother. These are terrible signs for the world. Our salvation lies only in the happiness of Mateshwari!
When Shri Chordia saw the devotes of Akola come to Bombay for Shri Nathji’s darshan he was touched by the poverty of many and said to Shri Nathji:
“Ye akinchan log hain! These are very poor folk!”
