Meher Baba
Image
God cannot be explained... God can only be lived.
Meher Baba
Image
I only know one yoga: 'You Go.'
Meher Baba
Image
To ask for a purely intellectual proof of the existence of God is like asking for the privilege of being able to see with your ears!
Meher Baba
Image
Light can penetrate any amount of darkness but no amount of darkness can penetrate light.
Meher Baba
Image
The satisfaction derived from the fleeting things of life is not lasting and our wants remain unfulfilled. There is thus a general sense of dissatisfaction accompanied by all kinds of worries.
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.
