In a discourse given at Meher Center in 1958, Meher Baba said:
“There is one real birth and one real death. You are born once, and you really die only once….
“In between the real birth and the real death, there is no such reality as the so-called births and deaths.
“What really happens in the intermediate stage known as births and deaths is that the limitations of consciousness gradually wear off until consciousness is free of all limitations. Ultimately, consciousness totally free of all limitations experiences the Unlimited Reality eternally. Real dying is equal to real living. Therefore, I stress: Die for God and you will live as God.”
With this in mind, we are sad to report that our dear companion and fellow worker at Meher Center for nearly 42 years, Dennis McCabe, passed away suddenly last Friday evening. Dennis was undergoing a routine procedure when his heart stopped, and they were unable to revive him.
Our love goes out to his wife Mardi and his family. He was a welcoming, kindhearted presence at Baba’s home in the West, whose tireless and loving work on programming was experienced by countless people over the decades. He will be missed by his many friends and co-workers. We feel blessed to have shared so much of Baba’s love with him.
Those who would like to donate in Dennis' name, it was Mardi and Dennis’ wish that people please donate to Meher Center.
In Baba's love and service,
Buz Connor,
For Meher Center board and staff
