At the persuasion of Priya Nath, Shri Nathji began dictating a book to be entitled: “The Servant of the Earth”. This was intended to be his biography, but he never got the time to complete it.
He also wrote “Nath Darshan” which contained his beautiful prose, “Bhakt aur Bhagwan”, – God and His Devotee. Priya Nath compiled a little book on Shri Nathji called, “Divine Glimpses”, which carried the experiences of some of the persons who had met him. The aching desire remained in Priya Nath’s mind to write a full book on Shri Nathji, which would let the world know of his advent upon earth and the miraculous manner in which he had reached out to the hearts of people everywhere.
In 1976, Priya Nath sent a beautiful portrait of Shri Nathji taken in 1936, to Delhi, for block making at the Statesman Press, so that it could be printed on the covers of these books. The covers were printed at the Statesman Press over the course of time.
The portrait showed Shri Nathji bare-headed in a glittering Zari-ki-achkan. It was the portrait, which Shri Roop Kishore had enlarged into an oil painting at the behest of Shri Babaji Maharaj in 1936.
There had been a time in Shri Nathji’s youth, when Shri Babaji Maharaj had lowered his eyes on seeing him in this dress and had said: “Betaa kaheen meri nazar na lag jaaye! Son, may you not be affected by the evil-eye, albeit mine!”
And Shri Nathji had replied:
“Issee cheez kaa to intazaar hai ke kaheen aap mere oopar apni nazar daal den! I wait for that day when you will cast your eyes upon me!”
The book covers had been printed beautifully, while the books themselves were given for printing to the Art Printing Press at Mussoorie where all of Shri Nathji’s pamphlets of the past had been printed.
When friction developed between the press owner, Sawhney, a friend of Priya Nath, and Priya Nath, Shri Nathji pacified Sawhney immediately by talking to him soothingly over the phone. Shri Nathji’s words gave him instant peace of mind, and the desire to continue the work further with greater efficiency. Indeed Shri Nathji’s words could soothe even the most recalcitrant of people.
Priya Nath had taken it upon himself to translate the “Oneness of Religious Thought” into English and he would sit in the East Side Room downstairs at Savitri Nivas to carry out his writing work. He frequently had headaches and stiff necks at the time, but discovered that the more he worked, the better he became. It was the reward for doing God’s work.
