TODAY IS THANKSGIVING IN THE COUNTRIES OF THE WEST, AND I DEDICATE THIS POST TO THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE WHO ARE CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING AS ALSO TO THOSE IN INDIA.
HH Shri Bhola Nathji, (1902-1992) was a great spiritual luminary of his time who gave peace and beatitude to countless souls during his lifetime, alleviating them of their sorrows and miseries, and people experienced God in Him.
HH Shri Nathji had this propensity of taking the ills and sorrows of others upon his own gentle body.
When the Second World War was going on and thousands were being injured and maimed, HH Shri Nathji injured his own arm and thus took upon it an unbearable and insufferable pain which no human being could have endured. It was the pain of humanity at war with itself.
The arm healed miraculously without any medical aid in the jungles of Mussoorie in the Himalayas, just at the time the Second World War came to an end in 1945.
The picture below is of 1942 taken at a time when HH Shri Nathji was in intense pain. We note the grey cape thrown over his right arm which was the arm with the grievous injury, caused by a careless Surgeon.
At the time that HH Shri Nathji was very ill and running septic fevers, a peace and tranquillity pervaded his face and entire being, and the Divine Light within him, which was a manifestation of his Divinity, shone ever brighter than ever, so that all who came to him saw God in him and were overwhelmed.
We can see that peace and tranquillity and godliness in the picture accompanying this post.
At that time the doctor had had a board put up outside his bedroom door: "No Visitors Allowed"
However HH Shri Nathji had the board removed and replaced by a board that contained his Urdu Verse which has the meaning below:
"Shukriya shewaa hai meraa, jiss men main masroof hoon,
Shikwa-haaye gham sunaane ki mujhe fursat naheen"
"THE GIVING OF THANKS HAS ABSORBED ME SO,
THAT TO COMPLAIN OF SORROWS I HAVE NO TIME!"
