==================================================
From the Biography of my Father HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of his time who gave peace and beatitude to countless folk, relieving them of their ills and sorrows.
==================================================
When HH Shri Bhola Nathji had a life threatening injury in his arm in
1943, with no medical aid in the hills, and doctors had thought that the
sepsis, poison of the wound, would spread in his entire body thus
taking his life, this is The Urdu Verse he had placed outside his
bedroom for all the visitors to read:
"Shukriya shewa hai mera jiss men main masroof hoon
Shikvaa haaye gham sunaane ki mujhe fursat naheen"
"The Giving of thanks has absorbed me so,
That to complain of sorrows I have no time!"
The sheer tranquility and peace on his face in a photo of his taken in 1943 attached here, shows the state of his absorption in the Divine.
At this time there was an unearthly glow on his face and all who came to him saw God in him, and found themselves filled with a peace and love they had never felt before in their lives which relieved them of their ills and sorrows...
====================================================
Do not think of your own misery because there is greater misery than yours in the world. Do not think of your own troubles because there are greater troubles than yours in the world.
If you wish to lessen your misery or make it disappear altogether just cast a glance at the millions in the world who are in greater misery than you.
Once God gave a chance to all humans to bring their troubles in bags along with them and to place the bags of troubles before Him so that He could decide how to mitigate the troubles, or how to help the people.
But before He did that, he made an announcement:
"Stay! Before you show me the bags of your own troubles, stop for a while and look inside the bags of all the others gathered here before me! Then let me know whether you would wish to exchange your troubles with theirs. You can then take their troubles and they will take yours!"
There was a clamor and a rush as people began to look inside the bags of troubles of the other folk gathered before God.
What they saw shocked them and horrified them beyond measure!
And they all said to God:
"O Lord! Sorry for bothering Thee! When we looked inside the bags of others we found there troubles far greater than ours!
"We have decided to keep our own troubles and be thankful that we are not as worse off as the rest!"
There was a man who was barefooted and he had always complained to God about not getting him any shoes despite his prayers.
Then he saw a long line of people gathered before God, all of whom had no feet, and they were praying to God to give them feet.
All of a sudden the man without shoes forgot his own misery and thanked God for at least giving him legs and feet.
This is a lesson to all of us to not to ignore the misery of others in the world when we think of the miseries that afflict us...rather let us pray to God to lessen the misery of others less fortunate than us..this will please God and he will remove our troubles in return....
