After his skimpy meal at 12:50 am, Shri Nathji tried to go to sleep. It was already already past midnight and was technically Sunday, May 3, 1992.“Priyaji! Ultee see aa rahi hai!“Priyaji! I feel like vomiting!”Shri Nathji was sitting up in bed. Priya Nath rushed to his bedside with a plastic wash basin.“Ultee ke baad“Relief has come after the vomit!”Priya Nath wept and embraced Shri Nathji, scared of the sudden developments, and made Shri Nathji promise that He would get well.“Iss tarah to time hi nikaltaa jaaegaa. Itne“Time will go on passing away like this. Many important things have to be done. If we go on sitting inside like this, even the brains will become dull.”Ultimately, Shri Nathji agrees and sits in His armchair in the bedroom, rather than venture out into the big room. The powers of evil take umbrage and make another attack – even as Priya Nath records a high Blood Pressure reading of 220/60 to 210/60 – which soon settles down to 170/60, which is the correct reading.“Ai jeev, aisaa prateet hotaa hai ke too dartaa hai. Shaayad too mujhe apne saath naheen dekhtaa. Yehi kaaran tere bhai kaa hai…Main tujhe vishvaas dilaataa hoon ke main tere saathh hoon…”“O man, it appears that thou art afraid. Perhaps thou do not see me with thyself. This is the reason for thy fear. I promise thee that I am with thee..”But here was Priya Nath with God Incarnate Himself – and yet he was afraid. He was afraid because he knew the tremendous sufferings that Shri Nathji woud allow to come on His delicate body even in His old age. He was afraid because he knew that, in the ultimate analysis, Shri Nathji would not listen to his prayers, and would allow the sufferings to come to His delicate body. “O Lord, I beg of Thee to Grant me this boon, to see Pitaji always healthy and happy! O Lord! Please cure Him of whatever the problem was!” At 5:30 pm Shri Nathji is sleeping in his chair after having eaten very very little. His total fluid intake is a mere 500 cc. By 6:30 pm Shri Nathji comes back to His bed from His armchair, and appears abnormal to Priya Nath, even though He says to Priya Nath:“Kuchh naheen hai! Khush raihna chahiye!“It is nothing! Remain cheerful!”Later in the night, Shri Nathji even has a little hunger and takes one toast and some tea. By the time it is early Monday morning, He even passes a fantastic amount of 700 cc as the output. His pulse remains a 100 % regular despite the ordeal, but his blood pressure gradually rises from 160/150 to 200/60, which worries Priya Nath.
