Weekly Reflections No. 3 from Meher Baba Books
(Los Angeles, California)
 
Dear Friends/Companions:

This mini-circular is celebrating its 3rd week of birth. Although illusory, time just goes fast. These new weekly mini-circulars simply contain a message in the form of words from Meher Baba -- or sometimes words about Meher Baba -- words worth reflecting on, and thus worth sharing with all of you.

Our aim is mainly to share and reflect on some passages from the treasury of divine knowledge, Meher Baba. Let us all keep Him more and more in our hearts, minds, and daily lives!

We hope you enjoy these small occasions for reflecting on the beauty and majesty of Beloved Baba. He is in everywhere and in everything. Enjoy His presence within the sweetness of His words!

Pearls
  • The universe is, in itself, nothing but imagination. There is, in fact, only one indivisible and eternal reality, and it has neither beginning nor end. It is beyond time.
     
    From the point of view of this timeless reality, the whole time process is purely imaginary, and billions of years which have passed, and billions of years which are to pass, do not have even the value of a second. They are like not having existed at all.
~Meher Baba
  • Merely to say "I want to see God" or "I want to realize God" is similar to an ant saying "I want to become an elephant!" Mere words have nothing in them. The heart must thirst to seek God.
~Meher Baba
  • I am the Ancient One, the One residing in every heart. Therefore, love others, make others happy, serve others even at discomfort to yourself -- this is to love Me.
~Meher Baba
  • Truth, when it comes, comes in a flash within. When Knowledge comes, one knows everything, but Truth and its Knowledge is not found unless one seeks with all his heart, and when one feels that he cannot live without it, then one finds it within the self. I give you my love, and this love will help you find the Truth.
~Meher Baba
  • When one loves God, one is eternally young, because God is eternally young, infinite and everlasting, and to love Him and know Him as He is, is the goal of life. To love God, to feel God, to know God, to be one with God, is the only thing that matters in life.
~Meher Baba
  • What else is life meant for but to love God and become one with Him? God is the only Reality; one has to go on and on until we arrive at a stage when we must love God because we know all life leads to Him.
~Meher Baba
  • If at all you must worry, let it be how to remember Me constantly.
~Meher Baba
  • Love means longing. Love means restlessness. Love means harassment. Love means separation. It is all necessary.
~Meher Baba

MANIFESTATION 

Eruch Jessawala


The lovers of Baba too believe that Baba is in their midst, although his physical presence is out of sight. He seems to have come into their hearts more forcefully than ever before. They feel his presence without seeing him, and I can quite believe that, because I too feel it the same way. I feel his presence without seeing him.

 

We, the Mandali, feel that there will come a day when the world will know about the Avatar of the age, about his silence, about the Word of all words, that will be released and felt by the world. We still believe that he will manifest to the world, so that the world can know that the much anticipated Avatar lived amongst them, suffered for them and dropped his body and left them.

 

Some came to know of him while he was still in the flesh, some came to know him when he rested in the Tomb giving darshan in silence, and the rest will come to know of him when he will manifest in their hearts.

 

And, I believe that the time for that manifestation will not be far, it must happen soon; and I would not at all be surprised if Baba were to appear in his body, at different places to his lovers, at one and the same time, or at different times, giving them his 'darshan.' This I will consider as his world-wide manifestation.
