Shri Nathji laughs loudly when Priya Nath tells him that whenever he sees people enjoying themselves it galls him to see Shri Nathji ill in bed. “LET THEM REALISE THAT THIS WORLD IS NOT EVERYTHING, AND THAT THERE IS ANOTHER WORLD ALSO, WHERE PEACE AND HAPPINESS REALLY EXIST!”Shri Nathji puts on his warm, white, woollen chooridar pyjamas. He has his air-force blue “Ye shubh rang hai“This is an auspicious colour.”Shri Nathji sits propped up on pillows in his bed, facing the inner window. A large group of devotees gathers in the big room, which includes Dilip Sardeshmukh and his newly married wife, Ujwala, from Bhusaval in Maharashtra. “I saw your Face for the first time and the Face was that of Lord Rama–but there was no dhanush in your hand!And Shri Nathji had replied smilingly:“Vo puraani baat thhee. Ab dhanush ki zaroorat naheen! Meraa virodh shareeron se naheen hai, balki paap se. Paap ko mitaa diyaa jaaye to koyi paapi na rahe!“That was a thing of the past. There is no need for weapons now. My war is not with sinners, but with sin. Wipe out sin and there will be no sinners.”Bhambri’s bhajans began with a chant in which all present in 1978 –and now in 1991– joined together:“Jai, Jai Bhola Nath Prabhu This was followed by a very touching bhajan sung in a very moving and emotional tune – which always brought tears to Priya Nath’s eyes whenever he listened to it:“Tere dar ko chhorrke kis dar jaaon main“Leaving Thy door, where can I go?Shri Nathji swayed to Bhambri’s bhajans, now in 1991, even as he had done in 1978.“Anvaar ke aalam men hamdoshe surrayiyaa hoon”After the stunning purport of the ghazal had been understood by them, the Video Film of Shri Nathji in his Mukat, Schneel Achkan and dark glasses, with the ghazal “Anvaar ke aalam men” playing in the background, was shown. “MAIN VAHAAN SE NEECHE AAYAA HOON!“I HAVE COME DOWN FROM ABOVE”It was the last birthday of Priya Nath that Shri Nathji was going to celebrate, and He knew it. “Priya Nathji was the only one from amongst thousands selected for a Scholarship at Zurich University. But, just then, Harvard University gave him a scholarship and he went there instead, and won great honours there. America gave him a Green Card to settle down there – but he left everything to come and serve me. He has no need for a Green Card, he has the Card of the Kingdom of God!”Shri Nathji’s face was aglow with a powerful Divine Light and He looked beautiful beyond description.
