Shri Nathji removes a loose root of a tooth quietly and smoothly, much to Priya Nath’s delight. Shri Nathji asks Priya Nath to preserve the root, which is fairly long. “It is a good thing you removed it, otherwise it may have come loose and gone into the stomach!”Shri Nathji makes a comment to the effect:“Lord Buddha’s tooth is still preserved in Ceylon to this day.”Priya Nath had in fact collected all the teeth that Shri Nathji extracted and gave him, and they lay in a small wooden box. His major worry is how future generations will preserve these sacred teeth.“O Nathji! Why did you have to have this injury when you were with me!”Shri Nathji had said to him: “So that you would have no injury when you were with me!”There was another time in New Delhi in the 1970’s when a taxi driver had bent down to touch Shri Nathji’s teeth and Shri Nathji had bent over to bless him–when the man suddenly straightened up, and accidentally collided with Shri Nathji’s mouth so that a tooth was dislodged.“Huzoor, these missing teeth don’t befit your beautiful personality. They might have suited Gandhi, but certainly not you. I implore you to have artificial dentures made!”Dr. Kapoor Singh brought a certain Dr. Sethi who fitted the dentures and was blessed by Shri Nathji. It turned out that the man had been thirsting for spiritual truths since long, and had many questions in his heart–all of which were answered by Shri Nathji at first sight.
