Meher Baba (born Merwan Sheriar Irani; 25 February 1894 – 31 January 1969) was an Indian spiritual master who said he was the Avatar, God in human form.
If you are convinced of God's existence then it rests with you to seek Him, to see Him and to realize Him. Do not search for God outside of you. God can only be found within you, for His only abode is the heart.
A mind that is fast is sick. A mind that is slow is sound. A mind that is still is divine.
Through endless time God's greatest gift is continuously given in silence. But whenmankind becomes completely deaf to the thunder of His Silence God incarnates as Man.
If we suffer in the sufferings of others and feel happy in the happiness of others, we are loving God.
When longing is most intense separation is complete, and the purpose of separation, which was that Love might experience itself as Lover and Beloved, is fulfilled; and union follows. And when union is attained, the lover knows that he himself was all along the Beloved whom he loved and desired union with; and that all the impossible situations that he overcame were obstacles which he himself had placed in the path to himself. To attain union is so impossibly difficult because it is impossible to become what you already are! Union is nothing other than knowledge of oneself as the Only One.
External silence helps to achieve inner silence.
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.
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.
What I want from my Lovers is real unadulterated love, and from my genuine workers I expect real work done.
Don't Worry Be Happy
The objective of spiritual advancement is not so much 'works' but the quality of life free from ego-consciousness.
Love is the reflection of God's unity in the world of duality. It constitutes the entire significance of creation.
The seeker asking, Where is God? Is really God saying, Where indeed is the seeker!
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
If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God.
Love and understanding never condemn but always seek to help and encourage.
Love and forgiveness is not for the faint-hearted.
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.
God alone is real, and all else is illusion.
Love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning.
