Shri Nathji often narrated his meeting with a senior advocate of the Calcutta High Court at Mussoorie. Even as Shri Nathji embraced him and blessed him, he said: “Hamen kyaa zaroorat hai ke ham Bhagwan ko jaanen?Shri Nathji immediately asked him: “ What need do we have to eat food? What need to we have to drink water?”“Jab pyaas naheen to kuaan khod len, aur jab pyaas lage to paani pee len!Shri Nathji had opened up a great secret of life. The time to know God was when one was without sorrows. If one rushed to God when sorrows came, then it could be too late–one would not have the strength even to pray.
