February 29, 1992, dawns upon Shri Nathji. It is a leap year. But the day proves to be a very bad one. Shri Nathji had stayed awake the previous night, due to the repeated micturition, and had been reading “The Advent of the Avatar”.“O Lord–why did this have to happen? O Lord–Thou wert protecting Pitaji, so how did this hurt slip past Thee!”To make matters worse, Priya Nath has given Shri Nathji a lot of fluids and Shri Nathji will have to pass water again and again, when He cannot even move His foot.“O Lord, why did this suffering have to come to Pitaji in His old Age of nearly 90 years?Shri Nathji is calmly writing “O Lord, I am filled with intense depression today. Why did this have to happen? O Lord, please make the pain, stiffness and swelling vanish by Thy Grace and Power alone.”At 10:30, Shri Nathji is in bed, writing ghazals of Divine Bliss and Ecstasy, and reading the “Advent of the Avatar”.“Unhen aane naheen denaa thhaa mere saamne.“They should not have been allowed to come before me.”Dr. Bawa and Dr. Mathur advise Priya Nath over the telephone, to not to give heat to the toe, or apply any kind of cream or anything else, but to let things be, and that the toe will become better of its own accord.“O Lord, please help us and save us! O Lord, we seek refuge in Thee! O Lord, please save THY 90 year old body from suffering…”Priya Nath’s prayers are heard, and Shri Nathji begins to feel better and better even as the minutes and hours pass.
