(Los Angeles, California)

Dear Friends/Companions:
We are launching this new weekly mini-circular, which will 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 establish more regular contact with our friends and supporters, through shared reflection 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 are thankful to have friends like you with whom we can share a few of the glistening messages of Meher Baba's Love and Truth. We hope you enjoy these small occasions for reflecting on the beauty of the Beloved Baba.

I Am Infinite Consciousness
Believe that I am the Ancient One.
Do not doubt that for a moment.
There is no possibility of my being anyone else.
I am not this body that you see.
It is only a coat I put on when I visit you.
I am Infinite Consciousness.
I sit with you, play and laugh with you; but simultaneously
I am working on all planes of existence.
Before me are saints and perfect saints and
masters of the earlier stages of the spiritual path.
They are all different forms of me.
I am the Root of every one and every thing.
An infinite number of branches spread out from me.
I work through, and suffer in and for, each one of you.
My bliss and my infinite sense of humor sustain me in my suffering.
The amusing incidents that arise at the expense of none
lighten my burden.
Think of me; remain cheerful in all your trials
and I am with you helping you.

Divine Love
Love is the divine gift given by the Sadgurus. Even if the whole world wants to, it can never bestow such a gift. And once it is granted, not even all of humanity can snatch it away -- no matter how hard it strives to do so. Love is the divine gift.
Once you know how to love, there is no trouble. Once you have adapted yourselves to the way, your hardships disappear.
