HH SHRI NATHJI COMMANDS THREATENING CLOUDS

 HH SHRI NATHJI COMMANDS THREATENING CLOUDS

=====================================

The birthday celebrations of HH Shri Bhola Nathji were in progress on June 23, 1945, at Shadi Bhavan in an isolated area of the town of Mussoorie in North India.

Just then,dark clouds gathered in the sky and began an ominous rumbling. There were people amidst the gathering who were filled with fear.

They knew how terrible rain-storms could be in the mountains.

Some were contemplating returning to their homes as quickly as they possibly could,when Shri Nathji’s voice rang out:

"Stay! Do not be afraid of the clouds! After all, we are gathered together here to take the name of God. The clouds are rumbling in obedience to the laws of Nature, which work at the behest of God.

"Indirectly, the clouds are doing Gods work without fear of anyone.Why, then, should we be afraid to do God’s work for fear of the clouds?

"And He, who controls all of Creation, can surely control the rain. Still, if there be some who are afraid, then let them leave. But what will they do if they get wet on the way? Would it not be far better to get wet while taking the name of God?"

Not a single person left. And though the clouds rumbled the entire evening, there was not a single drop of rain.

The daughter of a Nawab from Baluchistan had been amidst the gathering that day. She returned home, the chords within her soul vibrating with a heavenly melody. She went to her parents and burst out crying:

"Abbaa Jaan, Ammee Jaan! I had one of the

strangest experiences of my life today. I

went to the darbaar of Shri Nathji. The light of God appeared to come from him-Khudaa kaa noor!

"He commanded the clouds – and

not a single drop of rain fell. It was a

miracle. Oh, you must meet him at all costs before we leave Mussoorie."

The girl wept continuously as she spoke to her parents, who were also greatly moved. It did not matter to them that the man of God was a Hindu.

Time came when Shri Nathji met them.Since the begum, the wife of the Nawab could not move out of the house, they prayed to Shri Nathji to come to their house and give them a glimpse of his divine personality–his deedaar.

Shri Nathji, who had totally no pride within him and was ever willing to go anywhere to convey his Divine Grace, arrived at the house of the Nawab of Baluchistan in Mussoorie.

The very sight of Shri Nathji filled the

hearts of the Nawab and his begum with

untold bliss.

Shri Nathji spoke to them in chaste Urdu and Persian, while they listened to his words with great reverence, spellbound.

Very soon they found themselves above

space and time. By the time Shri Nathji

finished speaking, the Nawab and his begum found themselves in the same spiritual state their daughter had been in.

Tears filled their eyes as they bowed before Shri Nathji.

"Hazrat," said the Nawab, "it is our belief that where a man of God, like yourself,resides, the skies must bow down and kiss the earth. For, surely, such Light as you possess, is denied even the skies above.

“Jahaan aap jaisi hasti hoti hai vahaan

aasmaan bhi jhuk kar zameen ko choomtaa

hai! Aapke pass vo roshni hai jo aasmaan ke paas bhi naheen!”

“It is also our belief that if a Murshid- a Spiritual Master- like yourself, so wills he can change the destiny of man!"
