When the mind soars in pursuit of the things conceived in space...it pursues emptiness but when man dives deep within himself, he experiences the fullness of existence.
Meher Baba
Image
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.

Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. Want nothing and you will have everything.
Meher Baba
Image
When you paint, you forget everything except your object. When you are too much engrossed in it, you are lost in it. And when you are lost in it, your ego diminishes. And when the ego diminishes, love infinite appears.
Meher Baba

Image
I love artists, because through art one can express oneself beautifully.
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.

What will the present chaos lead to? How will it all end? It can only end in one way. Mankind will be sick of it all.
