mentioned that the disease is a bad one. Hence I will take Ma along and show
him once. I have come here with this faith. When Bholanath came and informed
everything, This Body said, ‘He will not get well’. Bholanath became silent and
then asked, ‘How can this be told to her? What can be done now? She will not go
without taking You’. Jyotish was also standing there. He too asked, ‘What is to
be done now’? This Body then said, ‘Okay let’s proceed’. Instantly a kheyal
occurred that it is fated that the boy meets This Body before his death and that
he has the urge to be touched by This Body. Where there is death, there is One
I only. Here there is a controversy of birth and death. What is birth and death?
Just a change of clothes, again it can be thought of proceeding to another house.
The veil of ignorance does not allow humans to understand this fact. Why will I
not go just because he will not recover?
This Body got ready to proceed. Knowing that he will not recover Bholanath
did not want to go. So he discussed with Jyotish as to what they will think if he
did not go. Jyotish remarked, ‘When Ma has said that She will go, then She will
surely go’. So both Bholanath and This Body got up on the tonga. While the
conversation was going on two three dogs arrived in front of the horse and
started barking. The horse now would not move. However, we went there and
saw him.
Gradually his illness increased. One day his mother came again with the
tonga and said, ‘Son is in a bad condition, he wants to see You’. You have to go.
So saying, she started crying. So This Body went with Bholanath. The moment
we stepped on the entrance door someone came and did pranaam to us. During
that period if someone did pranaam to This Body then This Body’s feeling
used to change. This Body too used to do pranaam in return. So sat down on
the doorsill and then again got up and went near the boy. Crying his mother said,
‘I will not allow You to go. Say something before You go, we will surely obey
that. Relieve me from this peril. You will have to say’ and so on. Bholanath too
started forcing This Body. Then words came out from This Body’s lips, ‘Will
you do exactly as This Body says? Will you be able to do it? Okay, from today
onwards for the next eighteen days do not allow him to get up from the bed.
Will you be able to keep this is mind’? She very calmly accepted this. While
returning back the boy cried and said, ‘Ma! I am unable to bear the pain of the
body. Whether I die or live, I want peace’.
Later heard that the boy’s illness was gradually recovering. News was com-
ing regularly. One day someone came and said, ‘Ma! He was gradually recover-
ing but why again it is becoming worse’? Words came out of This Body’s lips,
