Even though Priya Nath had wished that Shri Nathji not speak at all and had already played the tape recorded message of Shri Nathji, Shri Nathji wished to say a few words and Priya Nath gave him the microphone.“I AM NOT ONLY THIS BODY. WITHIN ME IS MY REAL SELF, WHICH IS BEYOND ILLNESS, DECAY AND DEATH. I CAN REACH OUT TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE, WHENEVER YOU NEED ME. I HAVE NOT COME INTO THIS WORLD FOR MY OWN SALVATION BUT RATHER FOR THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD. “Don’t be deceived by time. That moment is to come when you will have to leave this world. You must prepare for it now. Don’t rely on the next moment.“Vaaye naadaani, ba vakte marg ye saabit huaa,“Alas, O ignorance! The time of Death did reveal,Shri Nathji added:“Mujhe koyi karma khench kar naheen laayaa! Main apni marzi se aayaa hoon! Meraa shareer uskaa Mandir hai! Iss se jo amrit nikaltaa hai vo saare vishva ke liye hai!“I was not born in accordance with any law of Karma. I came into this world of my own accord. My body is the Temple of God. The nectar of life that comes from me is meant for the whole world. Shri Nathji, as was his gesture every year, asked Priya Nath to give a hundred rupee note to the young child of the qawwaal who had also sung. The qawwaals bowed with great reverence, even as Shri Nathji raised his hands and blessed all present, before the curtains were drawn on the bedroom windows, which shut out, forever, from the eyes of the devotees that Glorious Image of Shri Nathji they saw on January 21, 1988.
