Dr. Hari Mohan

 Priya Nathji had called  Dr. Hari Mohan, a famous eye specialist of Delhi to check Shri Nathji's right eye which was paining and take second opinion. Dr. Hari Mohan came to the house of Shri Nathji at Sarvodya Enclave and examined Shri Nathji’s right eye, and he also said the same thing that Dr. Grover had said that  it was not secondary glaucoma as yet, and the lens was not dislocated, and that the eye could be saved if the lens were surgically removed.
Priya Nath could hardly believe his ears. He was filled with an indescribable feeling of relief and happiness.
Shri Nathji spoke to Dr. Hari Mohan for a while telling him that Peace and Prosperity were both essential for life.
He recounted his visit to the millionaire, Dr. Kean, in America, in 1964, and narrated what he had said to him:
“You cannot enjoy a palace of gold if its foundation is shaking.”
Dr. Hari Mohan was deeply touched by Shri Nathji's words and personality.
The only question that Shri Nathji had to ask was:
“Can the eye operation be deferred till after the 23 of June?”
Dr. Hari Mohan said: “You can wait as long as you like. It may worsen overnight or not worsen for days. It’s all in the hands of God.”
Priya Nath was tremendously relieved. Shri Nathji, for his part, did not want anything to hinder the coming birthday celebration on the 23rd of June.
