Image
God and love are identical, and one who has divine love has received God.
Meher Baba
Image
The experiences which drugs induce are as far removed from Reality as is a mirage, from water. No matter how much you pursue the mirage, you will never quench your thirst, and the search for Truth through drugs must end in disillusionment.
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
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.

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
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
One of the most difficult things to learn is to render service without bossing, without making a fuss about it, and without any consciousness of high and low. In the world of spirituality, humility counts at least as much as utility.

I am the Avatar of this Age!

Love God and find him within - the only treasure worth finding.
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.
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
When a person tells others Be good, he conveys to his hearers the feeling that he is good and they are not.
