Priya Nath had written the following long article on The Face of God upon Earth which was printed in the booklets on Shri Nathji which he had printed during those days in lieu of a wasteful memoriam in the newspapers:THE FACE OF GOD UPON EARTHGar husn naheen ishq paidaa naheen hotaaThe Divine Beauty of God fills the Heart of the devotee with Love. It is a beauty never before seen in the world. It is a beauty that comes from another world. It is the beauty of that Divine Being whose Soul is the Universal Soul.Anokhee shaan hai saare zamaane se niraale hainThe Divine Light that emanated from the face of Shri Bhola Nathji twenty-four hours of the day cannot be found on the face of any earthly being. It was a Light Divine, a dazzling brilliance of the Glory of God.Tujhe jo dekh letaa hai vo shaidaa ho hi jaataa haiHe who sets eyes upon Thee becomes of a certainty Thine.The world had never seen such beauty as belonged to Shri Nathji. All who set eyes upon Him continued to gaze for long. Shri Nathji was the living image of Beauty upon earth. All the creatures of this world were dazzled by the effulgence of His Glory. Believers and atheists, philosophers and scientists, the learned and the common folk, men, women and children, were filled with bliss when they set eyes upon His Majestic Beauty. He was the most beautiful Being in creation.Nigaahe naaz se uski hazaaron masto bekhud hainThe glory of His glance has intoxicated them all,His Right Eye contained an Orange Sign. This was the Sign of the Avatar. Saints and sages who saw this Sign acknowledged it to be that of the Lord upon earth.Bhes badle maihfile agyaar men baithe hain hamDisguised, He sits amongst us as a stranger,The first glimpse that people got of Shri Nathji made them think of Shri Nathji as a Being of infinite handsomeness, a royal prince with an indefinable radiance, a world figure of the greatest importance, a being who did not belong to this world. A prince like Lord Rama and Lord Krishna.Bas issee cheez kaa intazaar thaaa! This is what the world was waiting for!This was the face that appeared to many as Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, the face that many in Maharashtra saw as that of Lord Panduranga, and the Face in which many saw Absolute Love, Peace and Bliss in the form of Lord Shankar Bhola Nath. It was the same Face of Shri Nathji that appeared in many forms before many people in accordance with their own beliefs. Teri soorat se miltee naheen kissee ki sooratThere is no Face like Thine in the world,Aa zaraa dekh le iss chehraye nooraani koCome and look upon this Face which is Divine,Teri ye tasveer hai beshak karaare zindagiThis, Thy picture, is the solace of my Life,Keep His portrait in your homes, in your places of worship, and let Shri Nathji speak to you through it within your hearts. Let Him be the pilot of your boat of life and free you of all the worries of this world and the next.
