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
Life becomes meaningful and all activities are purposeful only on the basis of faith in the enduring reality.
Meher Baba
Image
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.
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
When a person tells others Be good, he conveys to his hearers the feeling that he is good and they are not.
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.

Nothing is the shadow of Everything.

Art when inspired with love leads to higher realms, and that art will open for you the inner life.
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.

If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God.
Meher Baba
Image
Let not the dirt of the sanskaras of your thoughts and deeds touch you, by surrendering every thought and act at the feet of your Guru. As a laundryman washes and cleans clothes, in the same way, I remove all the dirt which has stuck to you through your thoughts and actions.
Meher Baba
Image
Seek a reality deeper than the changing forms.
Meher Baba
Image
Form is solidified energy, energy is an expression of the mind, the mind is the covered mirror of Eternity, and Eternity is the Truth, which has thrown off the mask of the mind.
Meher Baba
Image
Love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning.

Don't Worry Be Happy

Love God and find him within - the only treasure worth finding.
Meher Baba
Image
God alone is real, nothing matters but love for God.

The seeker asking, Where is God? Is really God saying, Where indeed is the seeker!

I am the Avatar of this Age!

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.
