Shri Nathji had frequently given the following definitions of death:“Zindagi kyaa hai? Jissne chale jaanaa hai!“Life is that, which is to go. And Death is that which is to come.” “Zindagi duniyaa ko dikhaati hai, aur maut Khudaa ko dikhaati hai!“Life brings before your eyes the world. And Death brings before you–God! “Maut kyaa hai? Zindagi kaa ek khoobsoorti se doosri khoobsoorti men badal jaanaa!“What is death? The transforming of life from one beautiful state to another!”“Zindagi safar hai, aur maut aapkaa ghar!“Life is the journey and Death is the destination.” “To die before one’s death was to attain immortal life–which meant in effect to destroy one’s false pride and ego, and to still all desires before death came, so that death would become immortal life.“For a devotee, death is a willing surrender, a prostration. For an arrogant person it is a forced surrender. He, too, prostrates before God, but it is a forced surrender.“When the eyes of a devotee open at the time of death, they see God. But when the eyes of an unbeliever open at the time of Death, they see only Death.”There was the Persian Verse that Shri Nathji frequently said:“Jaan jaanaa Rabb de, varnaa vistaanad ajal,“Deliver up thy life to the Beloved, or else death shall take it,During his later years, Shri Nathji would often say:“Maut mere saamne kaampti hai! Maut ko maut naa aajaayegi jo meraa kasad kar ke aaye? Magar main usko aane doongaa. Kyonki maut meri hi banaayi pyaari vastu hai!“Death trembles before me! Will Death not come to Death if it resolve against me? But I shall allow it to come. It is a dear creation of Mine!”In his famous book, “Mrityu kaa Rahasya” or “The Secret of Death”, Shri Nathji had written in his own handwriting, describing the mystery of death with precision:“Death is an awakening from the dreams of Life which tells us that all which has been sensed or felt in the past was nothing more than the disappearing figures lurking in the faint memory of the human mind; and what comes after that is a seal of secrecy covering the Precious Gem of that greatest of all secrets, so that it may not be discussed by the human reason but be only realised by the human soul. Strangely enough the message was written in the month of September in 1972, twenty years before Shri Nathji left the world in September 1992.“Ye dil meraa hai iss jaa, jis jaa zamaan naheen hai“My heart is in that place, where there is no world,Shri Nathji is seen in his yellow head rumaal in the big room, clapping along with the ghazal in a state of absolute bliss.
