MEHER BABA CALLING Meher Baba

SELECTIONS FROM THE BIRTHDAY MESSAGES OF MEHER BABA

1969

To love Me for what I may give you is not loving Me at all. To sacrifice anything in My cause to gain something for yourself is like a blind man sacrificing his eyes for sight. I am the Divine Beloved worthy of being loved because I am Love. He who loves Me because of this will be blessed with unlimited sight and will see Me as I am.

From My seclusion I send My blessings to all gathered in My Love to celebrate My seventy-fourth birthday.

Love makes the Formless and infinite become Enformed and Finite as the God-man amongst men.

Love Me more and more, because for the sake of love I have come among you.

On this, My apparent physical birthday, I send My homage and obeisance to My lovers who live for Me and would, if ordered, die for me.

Births and deaths are illusory phenomena.

One really dies when one is born to live as God the Eternal, who is beyond both birth and death.

It is easy to love Me, because I am Love. But it is difficult to love Me with that love by which I am attained.

In this age of mess, My message is:
Hold fast to My Daaman and be one hundred per cent honest in every way. Because God, besides being infinite Power, Knowledge and Bliss, is also Infinite Honesty. And so, by being honest in everything, you will be able to love God honestly as He ought to be loved.

Shun those masters who are like multicoloured electric signs which flash on and off, brightening the dark sky of your world for a moment, and leaving you in darkness again.

I am the Sun which is hidden by the shadow of your self. Cease thinking that you are your shadow and you will find that the Sun, which I Am, is your own Reality.

All that frightens and confuses you and grips you with despair is your own shadow. When the Sun of Love manifests in its glory and all faces are turned towards that Radiance, all shadows will have disappeared - even the memory of them will have vanished.

A post, to stand erect and firm, must have its butt-end sunk well into the ground. Likewise, My lover needs to have the base of his faith embedded in My Divinity if he would remain steadfast in his love. Be composed in the Reality of My Love, for all confusion and despair is your own shadow, which will vanish when I speak the Word.

I am the joy in your heart and the despair of your mind-for love can attain that which the intellect cannot fathom.

I am present in all hearts gathered in My Name to hear My Message of Love.

Be true to the Trust I repose in you and remember Me wholeheartedly.

All talk about the Path and the Goal is a lantern carried by a blind man. A blind man needs a staff in his hand; the seeker needs his hand in God-Man's.

No sooner you begin to love those whom you cannot love, you begin to love Me as I should be loved.

To love those whom you could not hate is natural, but to love those whom you cannot love is to love Me as I should be loved.

The aim of life is to love God.

The goal of life is to become One With God.

The surest and quickest way to achieve this goal is to hold on to My Daaman by loving Me more and more.

All Paths are Mine.

And all lead to Me eventually.

But the shortest way to Me is the no-path of self-annihilative Love.

Throughout the ages men have been deeply involved in the struggle for peace and happiness.

it is this struggle that lands them into chaos and misery. If they were only to become conscious of the fact that peace and happiness are not to be fought for but to be sought for within oneself, they would abandon their fighting and be at peace with themselves and the world.

Although I take birth for all mankind, fortunate are the ones who love Me while I am on earth.
