All this world confusion and chaos was inevitable and no one is to blame. (Meher Baba)
To love Me for what I may give you is not loving Me at all. View quote
Meher Baba
The essence of spirituality does not consist in a specialised or narrow interest in some imagined part of life, but in a certain enlightened attitude to all the various situations which obtain in life. View quote
Meher Baba
If instead of doing the real work of love you start doing organized propaganda work for me, it is absurd. I need no propaganda or publicity. I do not want propaganda and publicity, but I do want love and honesty. View quote
Meher Baba
It is never presumptuous for anyone to hope for realization. It is the goal of creation and the birthright of humanity. View quote
Meher Baba
This realisation must and does take place only in the midst of life, for it is only in the midst of life that limitation can be experienced and transcended, and that subsequent freedom from limitation can be enjoyed. View quote
Meher Baba
Before he can know Who he is, man has to unlearn the mass of illusory knowledge hehas burdened himself with on the interminable journey from unconsciousness to consciousness. View quote
Meher Baba
Give up all forms of parrotry. Start practising whatever you truly feel to be true and justly to be just. Do not make a show of your faiths and beliefs. View quote
Meher Baba
God is Love. And Love must love. And to love there must be a Beloved. View quote
Meher Baba
There are no divisions as such, but there is an appearance of separateness because of ignorance. View quote
Meher Baba
Remember that the first step in spirituality is not to speak ill of others. (Meher Baba)
Thus every one of us is Avatar, in the sense that everyone and everything is everyone and everything, at the same time, and for all time. View quote
Meher Baba
It is God Who acts, and God Who reacts. It is He Who scoffs, and He Who responds. He is the Creator, the Producer, the Actor and the Audience in His own Divine Play. View quote
Meher Baba
If I were to say every one of you is an Avatar, a few would be tickled, and many would consider it a blasphemy or a joke. The fact that God being One, Indivisible and equally in us all, we can be nought else but one, is too much for the duality-conscious mind to accept. View quote
Meher Baba
Once, one has experienced this, one sees oneself in everything that lives, one recognises all of life as his life, everybody's interests as his own. View quote
Meher Baba
Hopelessness means renunciation of all hopes. Aimlessness means renunciation of all aims. Helplessness means renunciation of all help. No master, no disciple, means renunciation of spirituality. And the New Life I have in mind eventually means absolute renunciation. Therefore, if any one asks you what this New Life is, say, 'Absolute and perfect renunciation.' If they ask, 'Renunciation of what? View quote
Meher Baba
Mind working is man, mind working fast is mad, mind slowed down is Mast and mind stopped is God. View quote
Meher Baba
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. View quote
Meher Baba
One of the most difficult things to learn is to render service without bossing, without making a fuss about it, and without any consciousness of high and low. In the world of spirituality, humility counts at least as much as utility. View quote
Meher Baba
God is Infinite and His Shadow is also infinite. The Shadow of God is the Infinite Space that accommodates the infinite Gross Sphere which, with its occurrences of millions of universes, within and without the ranges of men's knowledge, is the Creation that issued from the Point of Finiteness in the infinite Existence that is God. View quote
Meher Baba
The Infinite alone exists and is Real; the finite is passing and false. The Original Whim in the Beyond caused the apparent descent of the Infinite into the realm of the seeming finite. This is the Divine Mystery and Divine Game in which Infinite Consciousness for ever plays on all levels of finite consciousness. (Meher Baba)
Give up all forms of parrotry. Start practising whatever you truly feel to be true and justly to be just. Do not make a show of your faiths and beliefs. You have not to give up your religion, but to give up clinging to the husk of mere ritual and ceremony. To get to the fundamental core of Truth underlying all religions, reach beyond religion. View quote
Meher Baba
The Avatar does not as a rule interfere with the working out of human destinies. He will do so only in times of grave necessity - when He deems it absolutely necessary from His all - encompassing point of view. For a single alteration in the planned and imprinted pattern in which each line and dot is interdependent, means a shaking up and a re-linking of an unending chain of possibilities and events.

Meher Baba
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.) View quote
Meher Baba
The essence of spirituality does not consist in a specialised or narrow interest in some imagined part of life, but in a certain enlightened attitude to all the various situations which obtain in life. It covers and includes the whole of life. All the material things of this world can be made subservient to the divine game, and when they are thus subordained they become auxiliary to the self-affirmation of the spirit. View quote
