More quotes by Meher Baba
When a person tells others Be good, he conveys to his hearers the feeling that he is good and they are not.
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
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
There is no difference in the realization of the Truth either by a Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, or a Christian. The difference is only in words and terms. Truth is not the monopoly of a particular race or religion.
Meher Baba
Nothing is the shadow of Everything.
Meher Baba
To ask for a purely intellectual proof of the existence of God is like asking for the privilege of being able to see with your ears!
Meher Baba
There is no greater romance in life than this adventure in realization.
Meher Baba
You must make bold experiments in life!
Meher Baba
I have come not to teach but to awaken.
Meher Baba
Illusion throughout is illusion. There is no end to it, just as there is no end to imagination.
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
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
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
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
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!
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
Love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning.
Meher Baba
There is no such thing as evil. Only relative degrees of good.
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
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.
