If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God.
Meher Baba
Image
Illusion throughout is illusion. There is no end to it, just as there is no end to imagination.
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
God alone is real, and all else is illusion.
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.

Since male and female incarnations are equally necessary for self-knowledge, it is not right to look upon one as being more important than the other.
Meher Baba
Image
The seeker asking, Where is God? Is really God saying, Where indeed is the seeker!

All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged.

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!
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.

Love can attain what the intellect cannot fathom.

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.
Meher Baba

Things that are real are given and received in silence.

I only know one yoga: 'You Go.'

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.
