During the day, there is the Senior Parliamentarian, Shri R.C. Vikal, who comes for Shri Nathji’s darshan along with Shri Vijay Kapahi. He touches Shri Nathji’s feet in His bedroom and receives His Blessings. Shri Nathji speaks to him for a few minutes. Much to Priya Nath’s dismay, Shri Nathji’s voice is filled with the rattle of ‘balgam’ which frightens Priya Nath no end. He prays in his diary:“O Lord, please help us and save us. Please clear Pitaji’s throat for the 23rd and even now, and after that.”R.C. Vikal has promised that the World Prayer Day will be televised and broadcast all over India on the National Network.“Rukh se pardaa utthaale zaraa saakiyaa,“Lift up the Veil from Thy Face, O Lord,Priya Nath tries to record it twice, but is unsuccessful, because his heart is not in the singing. Shri Nathji is disappointed but does not press Priya Nath. Shri Nathji never asserted his Will on Priya Nath and never pressed him to do anything. “Maine apnee Will kissee par assert naheen ki!“Piyaji, maine to zindagi mit mit kar hi kaati hai!Shri Nathji advises Priya Nath to change his routine, and to not to disturb himself at night for His – Shri Nathji’s sake. He advises him to sleep at night and to stay awake during the day. However, the idea is unthinkable for Priya Nath, because Shri Nathji has to be up all night for micturition, and Priya Nath has to help Him. “Piyaji, old age “Piyaji old age is a curse!”“Meraa Burrhaapaa aapko kitnaa takleef de rahaa hai.“My old age is causing you such trouble.”Shri Nathji also used to quote Rai Bahadur Ugra Sen of Dehra Dun who used to say to Shri Nathji in the 1970’s:Priya Nath was fortunate he had been chosen by Shri Nathji to serve Him during His old age. These were the most precious moments of service to Shri Nathji – moments that were never to come again. Priya Nath also knew that if he had not been on the scene, then some other soul would have been granted this privilege. He was fortunate that God had chosen Him. God could take his work from any person in the world if He so wished.“Phir vohi chakkar chal parregaa,O Lord Please help us and save me:1. Make Pitaji’s Eosinophilia count go down.2. Make His heart OK.3. Make Him walk His old 60 rounds.4. O Lord, restore His Dehra Dun property.5. O Lord, save Mussoorie.O Lord, please help us and save us – evil surrounds us.”O LORD, A COUNTLESS THANKS – ONCE AGAIN THOU ART ANSWERING ME, O DEAR LORD, A COUNTLESS, THANKS. It’s 4:55 am. Pitaji is fast asleep peacefully. I had given Him tea and “Sookh gayaa thhaa andar sab kuchh.“Everything had dried up inside.”Mangla had been virtually eliminating oil from her cooking, – at the asking of Priya Nath, who had been initially afraid of giving Shri Nathji too many oils which converted to fats,– and Shri Nathji was right, the system needed this lubrication.
