Khanna would say in the days to come:
In Shri Nathji lies the fulfilment of Sir Iqbal’s verse:
Kabhi ai Haqueeqate muntazar
Nazar aa libaase majaaz men
Ke hazaaron sajde tarrap rahe hain,
Meri jabeene niyaaz men.
O Thou Hidden Reality!
Appear before me in human form-
For thousands of prostrations await their fulfilment
Upon my forehead!
