He who knows everything
displaces nothing.
To each one I appear to be
what he thinks I am.
Meher Baba

THE MASTER
- Concentration Upon One Master
- Exclusive concentration upon one Master is usually indispensable for gathering up the psychic energy of the disciple.
- For Want Of Complete Surrender
- When the Master gives Knowledge to certain individuals and does not give it to all, that is not because of the Master's incapacity to give to all, but because of the incapacity of one and all to receive Knowledge.
- Establishing Our Link With Him
- Meher Baba is only attracted by our pure love and nothing else.
- Alternatives To Our Destiny
- Baba gives us alternatives to our destiny that can cut short our suffering if we will only obey Him.
- Put It Into Practice Whole-Heartedly
- I have already told you that love for God and obedience to a master are beyond the reach of man on his own, and that complete surrender is almost impossible for him.
- THINK OF ME. LOVE ME.
- I say with Divine Authority, "Love me and your worries will vanish."
- Try To Hang On
- If six cobras came into this room suddenly from out there, would you just sit still here with me?
- A Supremely Imperative Claim
- Though one Master is not greater than another, the disciple must, for his own purposes, place the claim of his own Master over and above the claims of other Masters
- Lay Them At My Feet And Be Free!
- The umbrella prevents you from receiving rays of light for the Guru.
- One Has To Pay The Full Price
- Love entails pain the pain of the pangs and thirst of separation while constantly burning.
- He Is With Each One At All Times
- He says, "I am in each heart but I am sleeping there. It is my old, old habit. In order to waken me you should always call out to me, saying 'Baba, Baba, Baba' continuously.
- Avatar Meher Baba's Last Warning
- Beware of them who exploit spirituality to gain their selfish ends and dupe others in the name of Sadgurus and the Avatar.
- What Can I Place At Your Lotus Feet?
- Give Me what is not Mine!
- I Am The Way And I Am The Goal
- When My Will becomes your way, you are truly following Me, and then you are safe and you are saved.
- Truth Cannot Speak A Lie
- If you had this conviction you would have felt cold because I said that it was cold.
- I Shall Never Fail You
- It is true, I use the circumstances of everyday life to liberate my devotees, but I use them in a way that is beyond the comprehension of the intellect.
- Constructing A Channel Between Master And Aspirant
- The help of the Master goes out not only to those who are in his physical presence but also to others who establish mental contact with him.
- He Has To Give A Hard Blow
- Of course, He always forgives even ten times but what He means is that the third time He has to give a hard blow, like the blacksmith, and it is difficult to bear.
- You Will Be Saved By Remembering Me
- But before inanimate objects, during any serious mishap or accident such as a car crash or train wreck you will be saved by remembering me with full faith from the bottom of your heart.
- Pulled By His Destiny
- Pascal, pulled by his destiny, could not follow Baba's order; he did not realize it would have changed the course of his life.
- He Did What Baba Told Him
- So he did what Baba told him and it became so effective that it has become his whole way of life nothing else but Meher Baba.
- The True Hero
- Once in a long while there comes the true hero, the giant in Love that can gulp the Ocean itself!
- Worldly And Heavenly Justice
- When a guilty one is brought before Me, I establish his guilt and then I forgive him.
- I Will Free You From All Bindings
- Baba stated, "The ocean absorbs within itself heaps of sandalwood or refuse, good things or bad, as it is unlimited."
- Realize Who He Really Is
- Only those fortunate ones who have this grace given to them by the Master can know his true greatness and realize who he really is.
- Three Types Of Seekers
- Life after life, evolution of the illusory want goes on, until one gets fed up and wants nothing.
- Relax In His Will
- Is it very difficult to be with a Perfect Master? Well frankly it is not really easy
- The Real Doing
- The Master explained: "What you understand as 'doing' is in fact undoing.
- No Cause For Offense
- In the Dehra Dun group, discord had arisen in some families about the manner in which certain family members were loving and worshipping Baba.
- No Room For Even A Shadow
- The Master is the very source of purity, and to set one's heart on the Master is the beginning of self-purification.
- Baba Is Fire
- When you feel hungry/ And cook on the fire,/ It gives you your food/ For which you aspire.
- Conflict Between The Claims Of The Master And Other Claims
- The Master is supremely impersonal. His only concern is to remove the veils between the consciousness of the disciple and his Higher Self.
- Helpful Contacts
- Just as the Master may isolate a close disciple from undesirable contacts and connections, he may encourage and bring about new and fresh contacts.
