More quotes by Meher Baba

Meher Baba
It's a divine art to be cheerful.
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
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
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
Illusion throughout is illusion. There is no end to it, just as there is no end to imagination.
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
Love can attain what the intellect cannot fathom.
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
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
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
The seeker asking, Where is God? Is really God saying, Where indeed is the seeker!
Meher Baba
The easiest and shortest way to God-realization is through the contact of a Sadguru, which means keeping the company or sahavas of such a Master, obeying him and serving him. This remedy is like a special express train which carries you straight to your destination.
Meher Baba
What will the present chaos lead to? How will it all end? It can only end in one way. Mankind will be sick of it all.
Meher Baba
Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving.
Meher Baba
When love is not at its height, it always creates a mess.
Meher Baba
Light can penetrate any amount of darkness but no amount of darkness can penetrate light.
Meher Baba
Art when inspired with love leads to higher realms, and that art will open for you the inner 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
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.
Meher Baba
