Such, indeed, is the Ocean of Love that is Shri Nathji. Priya Nath recollects how Shri Nathji would bless him whenever he went for his examinations at school, blessing him with the words: “First! First! First! First! May you come First in Class!” “Sange magnatees ki ho lauha meri kabr par,“Let the tombstone over my grave be made of Magnetic Stone,On December 23, 1991, even as Shri Nathji congratulates Priya Nath on the completion of his film on Sherlock Holmes, he gives a short and effective speech:“There was a devotee of God who wished to be of some use to God. ‘Let me become a comb that will comb the Lord’s hair!” he said. But a voice came: ‘A comb must be shaped out of wood, it must be cut thoroughly before it will take the shape of a comb!’ “The man was frightened, and said: ‘No, no, then let me become a pearl that can adorn the Lord’s neck as a necklace.’ Said the voice: ‘For that you will have to suffer a hole to be made through you!’ “‘Then let me become a pen in His hands,’ said the man. But the voice said: ‘For that, too, you will have to suffer being cut and shaped!’ “‘Let me become a ring to be worn on His finger,’ said the man. And the voice said: ‘For that you will have to be melted in fire!’“‘Tum jin vastu-on se dar kar bhaage thhe vo maut ki shakl men saamne aayengee!’“‘All the things that you ran away from, out of fear, shall come before you as Death!”“Prem suraahi vo peeye jo sees dakshina de,“He alone can drink from the goblet of Love who is ready to sacrifice his head,“Jeevan men nirnaya karna hai – jo Param Poojya Priya Nathji ne kiyaa hai! Tyaag! Kyaa unn logon ki“A decision has to be made in life – the decision that Param Poojya Priya Nathji has made. Sacrifice! Of what worth is the pride of those who say that their time is valuable? After all, such an important Harvard scholar is also giving them his time. If Priyaji had not been by my side, my mission would not have succeeded. He is my direct, fresh form. The very divine glimpse of Pranji can grant salvation. “Pranji ne Priya Nathji ko likhaa thhaa: ‘Bhayya jis tarah aapne Pitaji ki itni sewaa ki hai, unki kul shaktiyaan aap men samaa gayi hain.“A man must learn to accept God’s Will, and be content even in His anger:“Gussaa teraa davaa hai, raihmat teri gizaa hai,“Thy anger is our medicine, Thy Mercy is our nourishment,“People must shed their pride when they come to God. It is not devotion– to say that God must follow us. Man must prostrate before His Will.“ ‘Oh, he is simply wonderful!’“Priyaji played in my lap, in Mahamateshwari’s lap, and in the lap of Jagatmata, my mother. “AAJ MERI BAAT KO SUN LENAA – ISKE BAAD MAIN NE BAAT NAHEEN KARNI – SUN LENAA DHYAAN SE!“Listen to my words today – after this I shall not talk more. Listen very carefully!”Shri Nathji refers to Anand Kathuria, the Officer in the Triveni Engineering Works at Allahabad, and says:“He was greatly disturbed. Priya Nathji sent him a letter containing my Blessings. Kathuria said later that he obtained Peace of Mind even before he opened the letter! Today my Blessings go out towards Kathuria. “Bhakti tamaashaa naheen hai. Kuchh kar ke hi lena hotaa hai.“Devotion is not a light matter, it is a very serious thing. One can only get a reward after doing something.”“Tape “It would have been good if all this had been recorded on tape. Every word is valuable.”“LET THE WHOLE WORLD LISTEN TO MY TALK – IN MY OLD AGE!“I didn’t sleep the whole night, and yet I am ready to serve the world.“Main chaahoon to khshann men saare vishwa ko bulaa saktaa hoon–magar rakhoongaa kahaan!“If I so wish, I can call the whole world here in a moment– but where will I keep it?“When the whole world is mine of what use calling it here? I can reach out to the whole world from here.‘Kaar saaze maa ba-fikre kaare maa‘He who is doing my works is worrying over them,“Kathuria was returning home from his office on his scooter. He was stung by a hornet while driving. The pain was unbearable. Kathuria had some cardamoms “Ye hamaaraa yuvaa roop hain. Ham se achhaa roop hain!“He is my young form – my better form!”“Jab putr oonchi sthitee par pahunchtaa hai to uske maan-baap ki stuttee hoti hai!“When a son attains a high status, it is his parents who are praised!”
