Meher Baba

I love artists, because through art one can express oneself beautifully.

Love and forgiveness is not for the faint-hearted.
Meher Baba
Image
Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving.
Meher Baba
Image
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
Image
Form is solidified energy, energy is an expression of the mind, the mind is the covered mirror of Eternity, and Eternity is the Truth, which has thrown off the mask of the mind.
Meher Baba
Image
Illusion throughout is illusion. There is no end to it, just as there is no end to imagination.
Meher Baba
Image
All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged.
Meher Baba
Image
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
Image
Life becomes meaningful and all activities are purposeful only on the basis of faith in the enduring reality.
Meher Baba

Pure love is matchless in majesty it has no parallel in power and there is no darkness it cannot dispel.
Meher Baba
Image
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.
Meher Baba
Image
The experiences which drugs induce are as far removed from Reality as is a mirage, from water. No matter how much you pursue the mirage, you will never quench your thirst, and the search for Truth through drugs must end in disillusionment.
Meher Baba
Image
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
Image
Light can penetrate any amount of darkness but no amount of darkness can penetrate light.
Meher Baba
Image
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
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
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.
Meher Baba
Image
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
