When you paint, you forget everything except your object. When you are too much engrossed in it, you are lost in it. And when you are lost in it, your ego diminishes. And when the ego diminishes, love infinite appears.

More quotes by Meher Baba
I am the Avatar of this Age!
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
If we understand and feel that the greatest act of devotion and worship to God is not to harm any of His beings, we are loving God.
Meher Baba
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
I love artists, because through art one can express oneself beautifully.
Meher Baba
The happiness of God-realization is self-sustained, eternally fresh and unfailing, boundless and indescribable. And it is for this happiness that the world has sprung into existence.
Meher Baba
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.
Meher Baba
You must make bold experiments in life!
Meher Baba
God and love are identical, and one who has divine love has received God.
Meher Baba
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
All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged.
Meher Baba
Suffering is essential for the elimination of the ego, just as it was necessary for you to scrub and scrub in order to wash the stain from my coat.
Meher Baba
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.
Meher Baba
Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. Want nothing and you will have everything.
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
But such a tiny and trivial thing as an umbrella can deprive you of the sight of such a stupendous fact as the sun.
Meher Baba
God has to be temporarily cruel in order to be permanently kind.
Meher Baba
One has to go beyond the mind to experience the spiritual bliss of desirelessness.
Meher Baba
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.
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
