Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,
Greetings from Meher Center!
In 1937 Meher Baba gave an interesting discourse to the westerners about thinking about Him in whatever they did. Turning to Margaret Crake, He said, "If you dance for me, you do as much good as one who meditates on me. Some like work, some like play. But when you do it for me, then it is the same. This is Vedanta and Christian philosophy in a nutshell; so very easy and yet so very difficult!
"Think of me in everything you do. Eat, dance, but forget yourself in the action and think of me instead. This is union through action. The less you think of yourself and the more you think of Baba, the sooner the ego goes and Baba remains. When you — ego — go entirely, I am one with you. So bit by bit, you have to go. Today your nose, tomorrow your ears, then your eyes, your hands, everything.
"Think of me when you eat, sleep, see and hear. Enjoy everything, but think it is all Baba. Baba enjoys it. Baba is eating it. Sleep soundly in Baba, and when you wake up remember it is Baba getting up. Keep this one thought constantly with you. If you do wrong, then think it is Baba doing wrong. If you get a pain, think it is Baba getting a pain. Then it will be all the time Baba ... Try to forget yourself and do all for Baba. Let it be Baba all the time!"*
In Baba’s love and service,
Buz Connor,
