THE TICKET CONDUCTOR GETS A TICKET

 THE TICKET CONDUCTOR GETS A TICKET

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

FROM THE MEMOIRS OF HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI, THE GREAT SPIRITUAL LUMINARY, WHO GAVE PEACE AND BEATITUDE TO COUNTLESS FOLK DURING HIS LIFETIME, RELIEVING THEM OF THEIR ILLS AND SORROWS AND WHOSE WORDS AND BLESSINGS STILL BLESS HUMANITY FROM HIS CELESTIAL PLANE

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

At another time, Shri Nathji was travelling in the compartment of a train. A ticket conductor entered the compartment and wanted to see Shri Nathji’s ticket.

His heart was instantly gripped by the divine personality of Shri Nathji, and the next instant he requested for a few moments with

him.

"May I sit down in your compartment?" he asked Shri Nathji.

"Now it is my turn to ask you for a ticket!" Shri Nathji said humorously, "What applies to all must apply to you as well. You are now desiring to sit in my train. You must buy a ticket. Or else show the one you have."

The conductor fell at Shri Nathji’s feet, and said, "Sir, I have taken a glimpse of you, your darshan. This is my ticket! I have come before you like an empty vessel of clay. This body of mine is like a hollow vessel. Fill it with the nectar of

life!"

Not all people who met Shri Nathji were fortunate enough to retain a lasting relationship with him.

Many–like the ticket conductor mentioned above–met him for brief moments only, and never saw him again the rest of their lives. But the brief contact was like a spark that lit their souls.

They never forgot Shri Nathji for the rest of their lives, and the brief spiritual truth they acquired from him lasted them a lifetime.

A brief glimpse of the avatar was all they were entitled to have in their lives.

When Shri Nathji went to the cities, large crowds would gather around him inquisitively. If he were inside a car, they would peep inside and try to catch a glimpse of him. It was a curious humanity peeping at God.
