POSTSCRIPT-SIGN NUMBER 116 337 God to certain Hindus who deny the continuation of revelation and consider that all of it terminated with the Vedas. I said to them, 'If the money does not arrive today I am not in the right. ' One from among them, Bishan Dās, a Hindu and Brahman by caste, who is now posted somewhere as a patwārī [village registrar], blurted out, 'I shall test this matter and I shall go to the Post Office. ' In those days, the mail used to arrive in Qadian at 2 PM.

So I continued to pray for him for a number of days. Ultimately, God Almighty, who is the Knower of the Unseen, disclosed to me at night that the resolution of the trial will be that Bishambar Dās's prison term would be reduced by half. This is what I had seen in a revelatory vision that I had cut half of his prison term with my own pen. But it was disclosed to me that Khushal would have to serve his full prison term and not a day would be reduced and that the reduction of Bishambar Das's term by half would simply be due to the effect of prayer.
