Source: AvatarMeher.org, AMB Hyderabad Center [Baba pointed to a particular man.] Once, you were a child. Now, you have grown up to be a man. Between childhood and manhood you have experienced much misery and suffering. Where are they now? The fact is there were neither joys nor sorrows. It is due to illusion that you think and experience everything. After 20 to 30 years you will even forget the t... »

It is most difficult for you to become (knowingly) God because it is easiest for you to be what you have (unknowingly) been all the time, and what (unknowingly) you will always be until it is the right moment for grace to descend upon you. ‘Impossible’ and ‘possible’ are opposites in the realm of dual... »

For you to worship me truly, it is necessary for you to have my grace. What is grace? No bargaining whatsoever is possible in the receiving of grace, and there is absolutely no specific condition for its bestowal. It may be given freely to anyone, whether saint... »
Source: AvatarMeher.org, AMB Hyderabad Center The same day, Baba also dictated this reply to a friend of Nadine Tolstoy’s, Grand Duchess Marie, a Russian aristocrat: Many bitter experiences of the past often open new vistas that help one to understand things better, as they really are not as they appear. Your hard trials in life have been instrumental in making you what you are now — a changed bei... »

Remember me before starting and after finishing any work. Think of me before doing anything.
