There is a setback in the health as Shri Nathji begins to have a consistent stiffness and pain in his entire body – the more so in his hands and fingers. Priya Nath massages his hands, arms and shoulders over the sweater, but the pains persist even though Shri Nathji is slow to speak about them.“Mere tassavur men Husne Kaamil ne jab se maskan banaa liyaa hai“Since the time The All Beautiful has made His Home in my thoughts,However, Shri Nathji undauntedly braves the pain and continues writing about Divine Bliss and Ecstasy, which only He can experience in such physical suffering.“Aaj praarthnaa karen ke shubh cheezen saamne aayen!“Today, pray for auspicious things to come!”And Shri Nathji adds, laughingly:“Phir karri khaayenge!“Then we shall eat karri!”Earlier Priya Nath had wept, his head in Shri Nathji’s lap and asked him to free Himself of all ailments. He cannot bear to see Shri Nathji undergoing such pain in his hands and fingers, and, in fact, in the entire body. “Ttheek to hoon main! Ye davaayen saari garr-barr kar rahi hain!”“I am perfectly well! It’s these medicines which are the cause of these problems.”Shri Nathji might very well have been right. Maybe these pains in the joints were the side effect of some of the medicines that he was taking. But the medicines were necessary and therefore Shri Nathji would have to continue to endure the pains. The very thought made Priya Nath weep with distress.
