284 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION 60. SIXTIETH SIGN-Later on, another prophecy was made concerning Sheikh Mehr Ali that he would be afflicted by another grave calamity. Accordingly, subsequently he suffered paralysis. His condition is unknown since. 61. SIXTY-FIRST SIGN-Is the prophecy about the death of my brother, Mirzā Ghulām Qādir. I received a revelation, as if one of my sons had said: عمتی بازی خویش کر دی و مرا افسوس بسیار دادی. اے [O uncle! You played away your life and left me deeply sorrowful]. This prophecy was also communicated to the same Āryah Sharampat ahead of time. This revelation meant that my brother would die an untimely and sudden death which would cause much grief. The day I received this revelation or a day earlier a son was born to the aforementioned Sharampat, whom he named Amin Chand. He came to me and informed me of the birth of the son whom he had named Amin Chand. I told him: 'I have just received the revelation: اے علمی بازی خویش کر دی و مرا افسوس بسیار دادی. [O uncle! You played away your life and left me deeply sorrowful. ] However, its meaning has not yet been disclosed to me and I am afraid it might well refer to your son, Amin Chand, for your visits to me are so frequent, and occasionally one happens to receive a revelation about someone who is in close contact. ' He was alarmed at this statement and, the moment he went back home, he changed the name of his son and named him Gokal Chand instead of Amin Chand.
