WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?

WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?
================================================
From the Thoughts of HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary whose words bring solace to humanity even today.


================================================
This para is taken from his writing: "A Message of Peace":
"WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?
DO YOU NOT BELONG TO GOD?
AND IS HE NOT YOURS?
THIS THOUGHT WILL FREE YOU OF EVERY TROUBLE OF LIFE!"
A devotee of his, Shri S.L. Malhotra, was travelling by train from New Delhi to Amritsar.
The train was overcrowded. There was no space in the compartment. And he desperately clung to the door of the moving train, his body half inside and half outside the bogey of the train.
For a long time he held on thus, with fear in his heart, lest, his grip loosen on the handle of the door and he fall off on the tracks.
And then he heard a loud whistle and saw a train coming towards his train, with high speed. The tracks of the two trains appeared to be very close.
He was gripped by an indefinable terror that his body which was hanging outside the compartment of his train would be hit by the train coming with great speed from the opposite direction.
His hands were sweating and his grip on the door handle was becoming weaker and weaker every moment. He believed he would fall off any moment.
Just then he heard the words of HH Shri Bhola Nathji ringing in his ears:
"Too kyon ghabraataa hai,
Kyon too Khudaa ka naheen?
Kyaa vo teraa naheen?
Ye yaad tujhe har museebat se rihaa kar degi"
"WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?
DO YOU NOT BELONG TO GOD?
AND IS HE NOT YOURS?
THIS THOUGHT WILL FREE YOU OF EVERY TROUBLE IN LIFE!"
He shut his eyes and he saw the smiling Face of HH Shri Bhola Nathji, and he heard him say:
"WHY FEAR WHEN I AM HERE!"
Just as the train from the opposite direction appeared about to hit him, the passengers in the compartment moved aside and someone pulled him inside the compartment. He knew who that SOMEONE was!
