October 1990 is a month of many loud pronouncements made by Shri Nathji to the people of the world – while speaking to the lone figure of Mangla sitting on the floor just outside his bedroom door. “Issee vaani ko duniyaa taras rahi hai!“The world is yearning for this voice!”People are saying:‘Hey Nath! Ham bhee baitthe hain teri prateekshaa men – agarche hamaare paas vo netr naheen jis se ham aapkaa aantarik roop dekh saken – beemaari, burraapa, ityaadi, hi dekte hain!‘O Nath!

Before asking Lord Rama to come into his boat, he recognized His Divinity and said:“Paihle charan pakhaar loon“Let me wash Thy Feet first,The Bhav Saagar was the Ocean of Life and Death. In those times it was Rama, now it was Shri Nathji who would take people across the Bhav Saagar.“A beggar asked a seth – a rich man – for alms. The seth in return asked the beggar to give him some rice from the rice bag the beggar was carrying. The beggar, in disgust, gave the seth one grain of rice only.

If only he had given more grains of rice to the seth!”Shri Nathji tells the story of the robber who robbed people only to feed others. He asked only this of Laxmi – the goddess of wealth:“Whenever I make food, let me put aside a ‘And, indeed, God came to his house as a hungry man at a time when there was no food in his house.

There was a time when she was so absorbed in the thought of her Beloved that she strode by a Maulvi-a Muslim priest, who was observing his ‘“Lagan men teri nikal gaye jo“Absorbed in Thy thought, they went across, Not caring for the fearsome waters,Other important pronouncements are made by Shri Nathji before Mangla, as He says:“THE GEETA WAS REVEALED BY LORD KRISHNA BEFORE ARJUNA. “Patti ko phool ki lagaa sadmaa naseem ka,“The wind did buffet the petal of a flower,“I WEEP FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD AND THEIR SORROWS!”“I am broadcasting to the whole world.
