Even as Shri Nathji’s train arrived at Jabalpur Railway Station, on the 7th of March 1959, Shri G.P. Bhutt Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh came to welcome him, bare-footed. He prostrated full-length before Shri Nathji on the platform. Along with him were numerous judges and lawyers. Shri Nathji never forgot this gesture of humility on the part of Shri Bhutt and would recount it ever afterwards in his sermons.
