Shri Nathji had frequently warned seekers after truth to proceed on the spiritual path with care.
Shri Nathji would say:
The moods of Emperors are unpredictable, sometimes a salute may offend them, and an insult please them!”
He would quote the Punjabi saying:
“Parvaasaa kee aashnaayi daa
Dar lagdaa be parvaayi daa
“How can we rely on Thy Love,
Afraid as we are of Thy Indifference”
“A devotee of God must be ever humble before that Supreme Power, ever repentant for follies and impertinences, real or imagined.
Never say you have not done wrong, for that would be a great wrong in itself! Before God, one can only say Bhalaaji or Bhoolaaji i.e. – Thou art right, or I have erred. If God calls day night, then you must not contradict him, but rather say: ‘What beautiful stars are in the sky!’
Shri Nathji would fondly narrate how Khayyam wrote another verse to cover the folly of the first:
Naa kardaa gunaah dar jahaan keesth bago
Vaankas ke gunaah na kard choon zeesth bago
Man bad kunamoh to bad makaafaat dahi
Pas farke miyaane mano to cheesth bago
Who is there in the world that hath not sinned?
And how has he lived–he, who has not sinned?
If I do wrong and then dost answer likewise,
What difference then, between thou and me?
There was only one way left to God–and that was to forgive Khayyam. And Shri Nathji said that the light of God came back to the poet.
