Shri Nathji is very anxious that people learn to celebrate the birthday of Priya Nath. This year’s birthday cards were sent out with Shri Nathji’s name as RSVP.“Mujh par bahut asar huaa. Bahut dar thhaa ke “I was greatly shocked. I was afraid lest there be a heart attack, but I controlled it!”Priya Nath recalls Shri Nathji’s ghazal in which he had written:“Vo sab ke aansoo sukhaa rahe hain khud apne aansoo bahaa bahaa kar!“He is drying the tears of all by shedding tears himself!”Indeed Shri Nathji had been very concerned when a little bird in the house had disappeared. How could he not have been affected by the going away of someone who had lived with him constantly for five years and whom he had treated as his own daughter?“Maine kayi baar dekhaa hai ke jab meri kripaa kissee bhakt ki taraf zyaadaa jaa rahi ho to vo ussee vakt koyi aisi baat kartaa hai ke saari kripaa vaapas aa jaati hai!“I have observed many times that whenever my Grace is going out in large measure towards any devotee, that very person does something which causes the Grace to come back!”Shri Nathji had also said to his devotees:“When you do not listen to me then you convert me to a Zero. And later in life when you need help, how can you get help from a Zero?“I am not worried for my own sake but for your sake. I worry when I think of the great status that you have lost, and which will not come back even after ages. I am like the mother who is hurt when her child does not listen to her and runs away into the world, only to suffer a grievous hurt later.
