There was Pran Nath’s dreadful trip to Agra in the Ford car, where he had ventured out all alone with just a dog in the car. On his way back, he had come to Palval, where a gang of dacoits accosted him and sought to stop his car on the road by placing a junked car in front. Later they tried to pounce upon Pran Nath, but he was able to lock the doors of the Ford and to speed away.
They gave chase for a good many miles, but Pran Nath reached Delhi safe and sound, and narrated the incident to Shri Nathji. It was only the miraculous power of Shri Nathji that had locked the doors of the Ford from inside, when the dacoits had sought to open them.
The incident was to reveal to Pran Nath that the countryside was still not safe for a person to go out alone.
Shri Nathji had always said this and had always rushed out to accompany the boys whenever they went out. He was playing the part of the protective bodyguard. There was even a time when he had come running out of the house, his half-tied turban in his hand, to sit in the car to accompany Pran Nath, so that he would not go alone.
Pran Nath complained bitterly against the lawlessness and the corruption that was rampant in India, and said he would fight it all his life.
When Shri Nathji once said to Pran Nath: “Pranji! Saari Duniyaan hee aisee hai. Aap kis kis se larrenge! Pranji, the whole world is like this. How many people will you fight?”
Pran Nath replied: “Ham ek ek se larrenge! I shall fight each and every one of them!”
This had made Shri Nathji all the more apprehensive about Pran Nath’s safety and welfare.
