Quote

Those who speculate from the shore about the ocean shall know only its surface, but those who would know the depths of the ocean must be willing to plunge into it.

Image
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!

Life becomes meaningful and all activities are purposeful only on the basis of faith in the enduring reality.
Meher Baba
Image
There is no such thing as evil. Only relative degrees of good.

Image
I am also a painter. I paint the hearts of people with colors of spirituality.
Meher Baba
Image
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.

Suffering is essential for the elimination of the ego, just as it was necessary for you to scrub and scrub in order to wash the stain from my coat.
Meher Baba
Image
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.

If I were to ask the famous Henry Ford to come over here and do what I tell him to do, would he do it? Never! But if I were to make a thousand-year-old corpse come alive before his eyes, he would jump at the chance to stay here and wash my clothes!

I love everybody. Each one plays the role they have to play, but in the spiritual arena there are people who are even closer to me than that.
Meher Baba
Image
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.

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
Things that are real are given and received in silence.
Meher Baba
Image
Worry has never done anyone any good, and it is very much worse than mere dissipation of psychic energy, for it substantially curtails the joy and fullness of life.
Meher Baba
Image
Forgiveness is the best charity. (It is easy to give the poor money and goods when one has plenty, but to forgive is hard but it is the best thing if one can do it.)
Meher Baba
Image
Love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning.
Meher Baba
Image
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.
Meher Baba
Image
Pure love is matchless in majesty it has no parallel in power and there is no darkness it cannot dispel.
Meher Baba
Image
Love can attain what the intellect cannot fathom.
Meher Baba
Image
God alone is real, nothing matters but love for God.
Meher Baba
Image
People wait for the big moment, the great event, and forget that happiness comes from building steadily on the small daily things of life. People wait for that special moment to express love and forget that love springs from thoughtfulness practised every day. People wait, but waiting is future and NOW is always the time.
