10. At this time, you were suddenly afflicted by asthma. This caused a great hindrance to your travels. Therefore, you spent the Chaturmas of 1661 in the city of Faridkot. From there, you traveled and spent the Chaturmas of 1662 in Patiala and the Chaturmas of 1663 in the city of Ambala. You spent the Chaturmas of 1664 in the city of Ropar. During this Chaturmas, many non-Jain people received great religious benefit. The people of the city became devoted to your service and began to earn religious merit. Unfortunately, despite many attempts to cure the respiratory illness, it did not subside. Seeing this, the people requested you to stay permanently. However, you did not accept this and continued to travel with your own strength. Many times, when you had a severe asthma attack on the road, your disciples would carry you in a palanquin made of cloth and enter the city. You remained in this state for a long time. You spent the Chaturmas of 1665 in the city of Kharad. During this Chaturmas, non-Jain people also received immense religious benefit. After this, you spent the Chaturmas of 1666 in Faridkot and the Chaturmas of 1667 in Kasur, at the place of Lala Parmanand B.A., L.L.B.
When you were on your way to Ambala for the Chaturmas of Samvat 1668, a divine event occurred, which was filled with wonder. When you traveled from Rajpura to Ambala, you intended to stay at the Mughal Sarai. However, upon reaching there, you found that according to the rules of the Sadhus, water did not reach that place. Therefore, you settled down with your fellow monks under a very large tree near a bridge on the royal road, where water could reach. You kept your water vessels and other equipment there. You also spread out your clothes and other equipment that had become wet with sweat to dry. You thought that you would reach the Sarai in a few days. At that time, the Shravak Mandal of Ambala arrived to serve you. You told them about your intention to reach the Sarai, and they listened to the auspicious scriptures and left from there.
At that very moment, a man suddenly stood near Shri Maharaj and stared intently at the Sadhus' equipment. When Shri Maharaj asked him what he was looking at, he said, "These are all the Sadhus' equipment, which they always have to carry with them." Then, the following conversation took place between the man and Shri Ji:| SR No. | 002908 |
