Truth is simple, but Illusion makes it infinitely intricate. The person is rare who possesses an insatiable longing for Truth the rest allow Illusion to bind them ever more and more.

Image
If I were to ask the famous Henry Ford to come over here and do what I tell him to do, would he do it? Never! But if I were to make a thousand-year-old corpse come alive before his eyes, he would jump at the chance to stay here and wash my clothes!

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
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
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
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.

God has to be temporarily cruel in order to be permanently kind.
Meher Baba
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!

Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. Want nothing and you will have everything.
Meher Baba
Image
I love everybody. Each one plays the role they have to play, but in the spiritual arena there are people who are even closer to me than that.
Meher Baba
Image
Just think you are the greatest. Where's the harm in thinking like that? It is not for pride you do it, but for bringing the best out of you. There is nothing wrong.
Meher Baba
Image
The objective of spiritual advancement is not so much 'works' but the quality of life free from ego-consciousness.
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.

I am also a painter. I paint the hearts of people with colors of spirituality.
Meher Baba
Image
All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged. What is meant by God-realization is to actually experience this important thing that the soul is eternal.
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
If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God.
Meher Baba
Image
Love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning.
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.

I only know one yoga: 'You Go.'
Meher Baba
Image
When the bubble of ignorance bursts the self realizes its oneness with the indivisible Self. Words that proceed from the Source of Truth have real meaning. But when men speakthese words as their own, the words become meaningless.
