Indeed Shri Nathji could expand or contract time as he wanted to. He could make years pass away as if they were moments of time, and convert moments into years.
And it was thus that Shri Nathji caused the time to flow past as he stayed at Mussoorie for the entire school year 1957, which was to be his last full year in Mussoorie.
While Shri Nathji was in Mussoorie in 1957 he was invited by the Arya Samaaj Mandir at Mussoorie on the 20th of September. It was astonishing that even Arya Samaaji’s invited him to speak to them. This had happened many times in Delhi as well as in Lahore.
Lala Hargopal Khanna, Mateshwari’s father, had himself been the president of the Arya Samaaj at Lahore. The Arya Samaaji’s regarded Shri Nathji as a perfect embodiment of spirituality even though they could not conceive of such a being as the Avatar. It did not matter to Shri Nathji; to each he was his own. Many Arya Samaaj intellectuals used to say to him in Delhi: “Your words pierce the heart. Ours is mere intellectual reasoning. Hamaari to sirf lecture baazi hai!”
It was thus that members of all faiths accepted Shri Nathji as one of them. Shri Nathji’s ability to speak on all religions with such penetrating power was astonishing. People did not recall seeing Shri Nathji studying books on religion or philosophy. It was as if this divine knowledge flowed out of him, as if it were his own.
