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
Image
Love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning.

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
Feelings and emotions are only the creation of mind and energy. Love is the creation of the soul.

Meher Baba
Image
Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. Want nothing and you will have everything.

Love God and find him within - the only treasure worth finding.
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
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
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.
Meher Baba
Image
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
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
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
God alone is real, nothing matters but love for God.
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

Love can attain what the intellect cannot fathom.
