Priya Nath was very sad that a glorious occasion had been lost and not captured on video film on the 22nd of February. Shri Nathji had been looking fascinating in his dark brown achkan and bright red turban. He wished to make a video now with Shri Nathji wearing the same achkan and a bright red head-dress, even a head rumaal.“Paramjit jee ki param jeet huyee!“Paramjit has secured a permanent victory!”Shri Nathji was interpreting his name: ““I am not only this body. I am Something Else. I am reaching out to the whole world today. The dark night of sorrow shall go away and the morrow of peace shall come. All who come to me see the reflection of their own faces in me. There are many who will not change their ways, but I will not simply let them go. They need me more. I am like the mother who gives her child milk even while the child is asleep.“O World! Mourn not for the stars that have gone!“Aaftaabe taazaa paidaa batnegeti se huaa“A new Sun has risen in the womb of the skies,“Thousands of people know me – but nobody knows me as far as I am concerned. The video film shall remain as one of the most outstanding films for posterity. It began with Shri Nathji swaying to the bhajan of the Akola Bhaktas:“Ai duniya vaalo gaur se sun lo“O people of the world, listen with care,, then, even as Shri Nathji’s ghazal on Mussoorie plays in the background, the video film goes through the panaroma of Shri Nathji’s past with Mahamateshwari at Mussoorie, Lahore, Lucknow, Allahabad, Dehra Dun, Bombay, Akola, and Pran Nath and Priya Nath as babes growing up as shown in photographs of the past history of Shri Nathji – photographs Mahamateshwari had meticulously preserved over the years. “Pran-Priya, Savitri Nathji ki jai”The last scene in the video film shows Shri Nathji and Priya Nath sitting side by side while the ghazal of Shri Nathji plays in the background:Khudaaraa dil mere men ab too apni yaad raihne doO Lord, let Thy Remembrance remain in my heart,And there is a second fascinating speech by Shri Nathji in which he explains the significance of the ghazal, and then tells the story of the King, his bazaar and the wise woman:“There was King who opened a baazaar! This world is like a baazaar! This is a Persian word, which means baa-aazaar, that which is filled with suffering. That, indeed, is the baazaar of this world.‘Why are you sitting here instead of choosing something from the baazaar?’ “The man replied, ‘I am the King, this baazaar belongs to me.’“‘Today I have discovered that all the people in my Kingdom love only the things I can give them and have no love for me!’ replied the King.“The woman thought for a while and then she said: ‘What is the condition you have laid down in the baazaar?’“‘The condition is that anyone can place his hand on any one object and that object will then belong to him!’“Quite suddenly, the woman placed her hand on the back of the King and said: ‘I have placed my hand on you. I have chosen you. You are now mine!’ “‘What will you get by choosing me? Choose something from the baazaar!’ said the king to the woman.The woman said: ‘To whom does this baazaar belong? To you! And to whom do you belong? To me! Therefore the entire baazaar is now mine!’“This is the relationship that man must have with God. The world belongs to God. If man can make God his own, the entire world will belong to him!“Tujh se maangoon tujhee ko“Let me ask of Thee thy Own Self,“Too agar meraa bane saaraa jahaan meraa hai phir“If thou dost become mine,
