MY FATHER, HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI

HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) was a Great Spiritual Luminary who gave peace and beatitude to countless folk of all faiths who came to him. Each found in him his own.
The Hindus saw in him a great Vedantist, and the Sufi Muslims considered him a Great Sufi. The Sikhs saw in him the spiritual teachings of their Holy Books come alive. The Christians regarded him as a Great Christian.
It was amazing that he appeared to be endowed with the knowledge of all the Holy Books of all faiths from the time he was five years old! It was as if they were a part of him. It was as if he had come for all.
He would say:
" There is no man on earth whose religion I have not accepted or who has not accepted mine. For my religion is that of Love!"
"I have no mission except Love in this world,
My mission is Love and my work is Love"
He was not only speaking and writing spiritual truths, he was in fact a personification of all that was spiritual and righteous in this world.
He showed to the world that the Real Face of God upon Earth was that of Love and Peace.
When he spoke, people sat lost in another world, unconscious of the presence of time. All they felt was an indefinable love which could only be described as Divine, and an unfathomable Peace which took them to another world, in which they lost all their sorrows and worries. His audiences were in tears as he spoke, inexplicable tears which were a touch of the Divine in their hearts and souls.
His irrefutable logic which the greatest of intellectuals as well as the ordinary folk and even children could understand, interlaced with beautiful parables, kept people in a trance-like state from which they awakened only when the narration was over.
He made spiritual truths appear so simple that all at once everyone felt that these were meant for them and they could live by them..
He would say: "Where God exists, Time does not exist!"
Beautiful as no other mortal upon earth, and radiating with a light which could only be described as Divine, he appeared to be a Being from another world, a spiritual world.
Though many regarded him as God Incarnate, he was so humble that he called himself:
"Ghulam Rue Zameen", which is Persian for, "The Servant of the Earth!"
" I have not come as your Master. I have come as your Servant!"
"I have not come to be worshiped. I have come to worship you!"
He would say:
"I am a very old companion of yours. I know you but you do not know me. I was your companion even before the Universe came into existence!"
