One of the greatest living examples of faith was Rani Pritam Kaur. She was the wife of Raja Jagat, whom Shri Nathji had raised from the dead many years earlier, in the 1930’s in Lucknow. She lived in Sahaspur Bilari Estate, Moradabad. She had entered into politics and frequently sat for the Assembly Elections. Her one chanting in life was: Nathji, Nathji and this went with her even upto death and beyond.
In 1959, Rani Pritam Kaur arrived at Allahabad and heard of Shri Nathji’s presence there. She wished to go for his darshan at once.
But a devotee said to her: “He is not seeing visitors these days, so it would be better if you go at some other time.”
Rani Pritam Kaur said to the devotee: “I know Shri Nathji. He will not refuse to see a devotee who is thirsting after him. I can say with assertion that ‘Guru kharrote milange!’ Shri Nathji will be on his feet waiting for me.”
It was a bold assertion for any devotee to make.
At that very time Shri Nathji was standing outside his chambers in the palace, talking to some devotees. Even though the devotees brought a chair for him and asked him repeatedly to sit down, he continued to stand and talk. The devotees were surprised.
Just then Rani Pritam Kaur arrived in her car accompanied by others. She came running to Shri Nathji and fell at his feet, saying:
“O Nathji! You are antaryaami–you know everything! I had made the bold assertion that I would find you on your feet waiting for me, and that is how you met me!”
And turning to the others who were with her, she said: “See? Didn’t I tell you that Nathji would be waiting for me, and on his feet?”
Shri Nathji said:
“Rani Pritam Kaur, now you know the extent of your own power–only a devotion such as yours could have made me stand and wait for so long! Not everyone has the power to do as much!”
