O Lord, Pitaji, the 18th of September was a day of GREAT SORROW as we remembered Pitaji on the thirteenth day of His passing away, His “Saaraa “The entire Hall will be packed.”There was the local Pandit – the Brahmin priest from the Temple of the colony who had on two occasions in the past performed pooja rites – “It will not go out. Pitaji will light it!”And miraculously the flames appeared in the ‘havan kunj’ by themselves. Bhayya seemed to be possessed with a special Divine Power that was his birthright, and whatever he said came true.“I have no mission except Love in this world, I described Pitaji’s humility in His words:He called Himself “Mazaa hasti kaa letaa hoon gulo bulbul judaa bankarI take the joy of Existence by becoming separately the Nightingale and the Rose, Here was the Creator causing His own Finite Form to vanish. The Ocean causing its Wave to disappear from the surface and to mingle into it once again. The Wave was born in the Ocean and vanished in the Ocean. It was an interplay of the ocean with itself. The Interplay of the Eternal, Infinite, Invisible Creator with His own Finite Form on earth. The verse contained the highest possible philosophy in this world.“Ashk-haa ki sooraton men phir tabassum aa gaye“The faces with tears were filled with smiles,There was the“Phir mere aalam ke andar nau payaam aane lage“Once again New Messages are coming into my world,Then there was the“Sun rahe thhe iss jahaa men ham kalaame nau-ba-nau,“Numerous were thy words which we listened to in this world,And Shri Nathji’s sad verse also written in 1991 after his second heart attack:“Ghame aalam men meraa phir yahaan aanaa naheen hogaa,I shall not be coming again into this world of sorrow,In these words, Shri Nathji – Pitaji – revealed His Real Form, that of Eternity – that of Immortality, Everlasting Bliss, “Aayen hain iss jahaan men, kab jaayen be khabar hain,“We have come into this world, and know not when we must leave,“Bhoole huye dilon ko paighaam de-rahaa hoon“To the hearts that have forgotten, I bring this Message of Mine,As also his verse of 1991:“Jahaane gham men phir dekhaa navaaye Nath aayi hai“In this world of sorrow, the Voice of Nath has come againShri Nathji had written this verse at the end of His famous book “The Secret of Death” in 1974, in which He had stated;“Jo baadaakash thhe puraane vo utth te chale jaate hain,And I had translated this into English as:“Alas! The cups stand empty today, Pitaji had greatly liked my translation of the verse as given above.“Sozash hai ik dam ki aur raahate davaami,“This burning is for a moment only, and the Bliss Eternal,Shri Nathji was referring to His favourite theme of the ‘“Khush naveede zindagi laayi sabaa mere liye“The morning Breeze has brought a Message of New Life for me,It would be a long time before mankind would ever be able to understand the depth of these verses.“Anvaar ke aalam men, hamdoshe surrayiyaa hoon,“In this Universe of Light, I stand shoulder to shoulder with the Galaxies,Here were the two Faces of God – His Eternal Infinite Form spread out over the entire Universe – and His Form that appeared within the pure hearts of His devotees. As Shri Nathji would frequently say:“Blessed are the pure in Heart, for they shall see God!”I also recollected Pitaji’s famous verses of 1981 in which He had shown the Reality of His True Self – the Reality of a Bliss that existed beyond heaven and earth, beyond life and death. Pitaji used to say fondly:“Sufi to isse sun kar mast ho jaayen!”“The Sufis will become intoxicated with these words!“Ye kyaa masti kaa aalam hai naheen kuchh bhee yahaan baaki“O what a world of intoxication is this, where nothing else exists“Kahaan ki zindagi aur phir kahaan ki maut ki baaten,Of what avail the talk of life and the talk of DeathOn the ‘“Aaj iss prithvi par, iss“On this day, I came into this planet, it was the time of my coming. My coming is pointing towards my going away!”How true his words had become now. People listened to His Voice with a hushed awe. There were tears in every eye. Never again would they see their Beloved Nath in human form, speaking to them directly. There was only His portrait in the ‘shamiaanaa’ from which the words appeared to flow out.
