But such a tiny and trivial thing as an umbrella can deprive you of the sight of such a stupendous fact as the sun.
Meher Baba

The life of the spirit is the expression of Infinity and, as such, knows no artificial limits. True spirituality is not to be mistaken for an exclusive enthusiasm for some fad. It is not concerned with any ism. When people seek spirituality apart from life, as if it had nothing to do with the material world, their search is futile.

In the world, there are countless Sadhus, Mahatmas, Mahapurushas, Saints, Yogis, and Walis, though the number of genuine ones is very, very limited. I am neither a Mahatma nor a Mahapurush, neither a Sadhu nor a Saint, neither a Yogi nor a Wali. I am the ancient One. The Highest of the High!

The easiest and shortest way to God-realization is through the contact of a Sadguru, which means keeping the company or sahavas of such a Master, obeying him and serving him. This remedy is like a special express train which carries you straight to your destination.

Light can penetrate any amount of darkness but no amount of darkness can penetrate light.
Meher Baba

Pure love is matchless in majesty it has no parallel in power and there is no darkness it cannot dispel.
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.

If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God.
