Visitors are surprised at this sudden surge of good health, and remark:“You are looking even better than before!”Just then, the ‘evil eye’ strikes Shri Nathji, as Priya Nath had thought it would. Shri Nathji has great attacks of weakness once again. A gum boil develops in his mouth.“You have given me your darshan in many forms. Please go on doing so in the future and never hide your physical form from us!”Mrs. Jaginder Sawhney, who has become a famous lady saint, comes for Shri Nathji’s darshan, bringing with herself a ‘Siddh Purush’ – a Realised Soul – a Saint with a strange, far-away look in his eyes. “Agar Khudaa khush ho jaaye to khudaayi detaa hai – aur agar Nath khush ho jaaye?“If God is pleased He gives His Creation, but if Nath is pleased?”Shri Nathji answers her devotional query:“Vo apnaa aap detaa hai!“He gives of Himself!”It is the 19th of June already and Shri Nathji has never before looked so handsome or so radiant. The newspapers have been given the advertisements for the World Prayer Day. Shri Nathji and Priya Nath discuss what ghazals must be sung on the day, even as Shri Nathji puts on his yellow kerchief and is beset upon by another bout of eructations from the ominous ‘gas’ – or whatever it is. Priya Nath attributes it to the extra potatoes he gave Shri Nathji at lunch time.
