When nothing upsets you, you are at the beginning of the path. When you desire nothing, you are halfway on the path when nothing becomes everything, you are perfected.
Meher Baba
Image
Though the eye is small, the soul which sees through it is greater and vaster than all the things which it perceives. In fact, it is so great that it includes all objects, however large or numerous, within itself. For it is not so much that you are within the cosmos as that the cosmos is within you.

Divine love makes us true to ourselves and to others... Divine love is the solution to our difficulties and problems. It frees us from every kind of binding. It makes us speak truly, think truly, and act truly. It makes us feel one with the whole universe. Divine love purifies our hearts and glorifies our being.

Meher Baba
Image
Whether men soar to outer space or dive to the bottom of the deepest ocean they will find themselves as they are, unchanged, because they will not have forgotten themselves nor remembered to exercise the charity of forgiveness.
Meher Baba

God has to be temporarily cruel in order to be permanently kind.
Meher Baba
Image
Life becomes meaningful and all activities are purposeful only on the basis of faith in the enduring reality.
Meher Baba
Image
Since male and female incarnations are equally necessary for self-knowledge, it is not right to look upon one as being more important than the other.
Meher Baba
Image
All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged.
Meher Baba
Image
Things that are real are given and received in silence.
Meher Baba
Image
God cannot be explained... God can only be lived.
Meher Baba

Feelings and emotions are only the creation of mind and energy. Love is the creation of the soul.

Image
God and love are identical, and one who has divine love has received God.
