This was a profound statement of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) which he made often and very seriously. He was a great spiritual luminary of his time who gave peace and beatitude to countless folk during his lifetime, relieving them of their ills and sorrows, and in whom people saw the Light of God.
=================================================
It was a well known fact that when people sat before HH Shri Bhola
Nathji, or HH Shri Nathji as he was lovingly called by them, time simply
seemed to fly past.
Five hours would pass by and the listeners would be unconscious of the passage of time and would appear to awaken from another world in which there was nothing but absolute God Consciousness and Bliss, and the listeners were not even aware of their own existence. It appeared to them as if not a single moment of time had elapsed!
And Shri Nathji would say: "Where God exists, Time does not exist!"
Shri Nathji would add: "Each and every moment of time is blessed when it is spent in the remembrance of God!"
Every moment that people spent before him was a moment added to the years of their lives.
This was apparent to individuals who visited him and also to large audiences in halls.
When Shri Nathji spoke to large audiences at Rialto Cinema Hall in Mussoorie, the hours would pass by rapidly without people being aware of even a moment having elapsed.
A devotee of Shri Nathji, Shyam Lal Kasera, who was very worried about the impact these long hours of speaking might have on Shri Nathji's health, placed a wall clock at the opposite end of the hall so that Shri Nathji would look at the clock and stop speaking soon.
But a strange thing happened on that day -- the wall clock stopped instead!!
A Guru who had come with his disciples to seek Shri Nathji's benedictions had the same experience and said to his disciples:
"I have not brought you to an ordinary place.
Yahaan Kaal ko aane ki ijaazat naheen hai!
Time is not allowed to come here!"
Kaal, or time is another name for Death. It is time which is rapidly taking you towards death, each and every moment of life that slips by warns you that the end is drawing closer, and that the final moment of Time is what you call Death.
It was a miracle in itself that people who associated with HH Shri Nathji and spent large amounts of their time with him still found themselves as young as ever!!
HH Shri Bhola Nathji himself was a living example of one untouched by time. Even though he took upon his own gentle body the sorrows and sufferings of the world around him, yet his face retained the same look of divine youth and the same divine light which was its perennial sign.
