These are the days when Shri Nathji speaks very lovingly to Mangla, like a Father speaking to a small child, saying in a sing-song voice:“Man-ga-laa! Bachee! Beti!“Man-ga-laa! Dear daughter! Child!”A telegram arrives from Nagpur for Mangla in which it is stated that her father Shri Tekade has expired. His death was very peaceful and the envy even of saints and sages. “Agar chaaho to main tumhen Tekadeji ke darshan apne men karaa sakta hoon! “If you so wish I can reveal Takadeji to you in myself! He is in Paradise.Shri Nathji was referring to sending her back to Nagpur if she so wished.“JoShri Nathji also recalls how Mangla had put a“Ham ne tumhaare saare jeevan bhar ki chintaayen lee hain! Ham Pita hain tumhaare! Tum ne hamen teekaa lagaayaa thhaa Pita ke divas par. Hamen hee Tekadeji samajhna!“I have taken full responsibility for all your worries of life. I am your Father. You had put a ‘teekaa’ on my forehead on Father’s day. Look upon me as Tekadeji!”Shri Nathji’s pulse becomes fast and irregular during these days and His Blood Pressure rises to 210/60 from 180/60. Truly had Shri Nathji said to His devotees:“I love you more than you love yourselves. Priya Nath prays desperately as recorded in his diary of January 14, 1992:“O Lord, please don’t let Pitaji strain Himself. His life and Health are more precious than the entire world. HE IS THY BODY UPON EARTH… Please don’t let this GREAT, GENTLE SOUL Strain Himself….”It has been barely 10 months since the severe second heart attack that Shri Nathji had in March 1991, and there has been tremendous strain upon Him since then. “O Lord! I am not at all worthy of all the favours Thou hast granted me – O Dear Lord! – BEST OF ALL THIS FAVOUR of granting me the Greatest Being upon Earth – nay the Universe – as my Dear, Dear, Father – my Pitaji – Thy own Human Self upon this Earth. O Lord, please let me count every second, every minute of this existence on earth as the most favourable, most fortunate for Thy favours upon an unworthy person like me.”
