Form is solidified energy, energy is an expression of the mind, the mind is the covered mirror of Eternity, and Eternity is the Truth, which has thrown off the mask of the mind.
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.
Meher Baba

Meher Baba
Image
The intellect of most persons is harnessed by innumerable wants. From the spiritual point of view, such a life is the lowest type of human existence. The highest type of human existence is free from all wants and is characterised by sufficiency or contentment.
Meher Baba
Image
God alone is real, nothing matters but love for God.
Meher Baba

Only in the human form is it possible for life to attain its final goal, which is to realize the all-pervading and infinite Divinity.
Meher Baba
Image
There is no difference in the realization of the Truth either by a Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, or a Christian. The difference is only in words and terms. Truth is not the monopoly of a particular race or religion.
Meher Baba
Image
Pure love is matchless in majesty it has no parallel in power and there is no darkness it cannot dispel.
