Comes the month of October 1983, which is always a special month for Shri Nathji, for it is the month in which Shri Priya Nath was born. But it is a month the joy of which is mitigated somewhat by the grief of Veeran Devi’s passing away on September 27. “Jaane vaale bataa rahe hain hamen bhee chale jaanaa hai!“Those who have left the world are telling us that we too must leave. Where is the time? Do not become so engrossed in the world that all your time is spent in it.” Priya Nath tells Shri Nathji to not to compose sad ghazals like the one he had composed after Veeran Devi’s Death.“Yoon dekhte hi dekhte shaamo saihar gayiAnd Shri Nathji promises Priya Nath that he won’t. It was like Pran Nath writing to Shri Nathji in 1974 when Shri Nathji had written “The Secret of Death”:“Tell Pitaji to stop writing books on death!”Though all of Shri Nathji’s Divine revelations contained the joy of life, Shri Nathji also pointed out the futility of man’s existence upon earth, if it was not connected with that Divine Reality. “They say my verse is sad,There is a moment of great joy even as Mohan Lal Agarwal, the son of Shyam Lal Kasera, brings an old diary of Shri Nathji written sixty years ago, which contains Shri Nathji’s verses in English prose. Shri Nathji and Priya Nath read them and are delighted.
