Shri Nathji had brought to Delhi the life-sized wooden cut-out painting of his , which had been made by Shri Roop Kishore at Mussoorie. It had been miraculously saved in the fire that had burnt down his gallery in 1969 at Mussoorie. The large life-sized painting was kept in the drawing room at Sarvodya Enclave.
One day, a certain postmaster of the colony, Shri Ram Pal, came for Shri Nathji’s darshan and he entered the drawing room, and prostrated before the painting.
Mrs. Gangabai Bhutt was watching from the doorway. Suddenly she screamed out very loudly with emotion–as the right hand of Shri Nathji’s painting went upwards in a gesture of blessing the postmaster!
Mrs. Bhutt would thereafter always hold the painting in great awe and reverence and treat it as another roop-form of Shri Nathji. It was not a simple wooden cut-out made to look like him; it was He, Himself.
Shri Nathji had often said:
“When you prostrate before an idol of stone you do not do so thinking it to be just stone – you think of it as God. In other words you are prostrating before your own belief!
“Aap apni bhaavna ko pranaam karte hain!”
“It is your prostration that converts the stone to God. Therefore, if you can think of a stone image as being God, why can you not think of a human form as being God? The answer you get will be from God alone.”
Shri Nathji said:
“Agar mere paas Satya hai to aapko phal milegaa, aur agar mere paas Satya naheen hai to aapko aapki bhaavnaa kaa phal milegaa!
“If I have the Truth you shall get your reward from me; however even if I do not have the Truth your own faith shall reward you!”
