More quotes by Meher Baba
God has been everlastingly working in Silence, unobserved, unheard, except by those who experience His Infinite Silence. Those who have got the courage and wisdom to surrender themselves to a Perfect Master are the recipients of His Grace.
Meher Baba
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.
Meher Baba
One has to go beyond the mind to experience the spiritual bliss of desirelessness.
Meher Baba
You must make bold experiments in life!
Meher Baba
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
Illusion throughout is illusion. There is no end to it, just as there is no end to imagination.
Meher Baba
The entire life of the personal ego is continually in the grip of wanting, i. e., an attempt to seek fulfilment of desires through things that change and vanish. But there can be no real fulfilment through the transient things
Meher Baba
God alone is real, nothing matters but love for God.
Meher Baba
If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God.
Meher Baba
The intellect of most persons is harnessed by innumerable wants. From the spiritual point of view, such a life is the lowest type of human existence. The highest type of human existence is free from all wants and is characterised by sufficiency or contentment.
Meher Baba
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
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
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
Love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning.
Meher Baba
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
Don't Worry Be Happy
Meher Baba
God alone is real, and all else is illusion.
Meher Baba
Feelings and emotions are only the creation of mind and energy. Love is the creation of the soul.
Meher Baba
God cannot be explained... God can only be lived.
Meher Baba
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
