At another time, during the 1930's Shri Nathji was travelling
in the first class compartment of a train. A
ticket conductor entered the compartment
and wanted to see Shri Nathji’s ticket.
His
heart was instantly gripped by the divine
personality of Shri Nathji, and the next
instant he requested for a few moments with
him.
"May I sit down in your compartment?" he
asked Shri Nathji.
Shri Nathji said humorously:
"Now it is my turn to ask you for a ticket!
Wat applies to all must apply to you as well.
You are now desiring to sit in my train. you
must buy a ticket. Or else show the one you
have."
The conductor fell at Shri Nathji’s feet, and
said:
"Sir, I have taken your divine glimpse!. This is my
ticket! I have come before you like an empty
vessel of clay. This body of mine is like a
hollow vessel. Fill it with the nectar of life!"
Not all people who met Shri Nathji were fortunate enough to retain a lasting relationship with him.
Many, like the ticket conductor mentioned above, met him for
brief moments only, and never saw him
again the rest of their lives.
But the brief contact was like a spark that lit their souls.
They never forgot Shri Nathji for the rest of
their lives, and the brief spiritual truth they
acquired from him lasted them a life time.
A brief glimpse of the avatar was all they were
destined to have in their lives.
When Shri Nathji went to the cities large
crowds would gather around him
inquisitively.
If he were inside a car, they
would peep inside and try to catch a glimpse
of him. It was a curious humanity peeping at God.
