Meher Baba: ~ Religion has to go, and God, Truth has to come.+

Meher Baba: ~ Religion has to go, and God, Truth has to come. (LM –PG- 2121)

Meher Baba: ~ "There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization."

Meher Baba: ~ “When religion has become merely a matter of external rituals and ceremonies, it has become a cage for the Soul.

Meher Baba says:~ UNLESS AND UNTIL ignorance is removed and Knowledge is gained. . . the Knowledge whereby the Divine Life is experienced and lived. . . Everything pertaining to the spiritual seems paradoxical. . . GOD, whom we do not see, we say is real; and the world, which we do see, we say is false. In experience, what exists for us does not really exist; and what does not exist for us, really exists.

Meher Baba said: ~ God is your innermost Self. Do not search for God outside of you. Let these words be inscribed in your heart. Nothing is real but God. Nothing matters but love for God. God is everywhere and does everything. God is beyond us and is everything. God alone is and all else is illusion.

God is everywhere, God is in everything, and God also beyond everywhere and beyond everything. God is in the firmament and in the depths; God is manifest and unmanifest.

Meher Baba: ~ “The scriptures are like rotten bones, rotted and are as food for worms.

Theosophy and philosophy are like good bones rotted and are as food for vultures.

The writings of inspired poets are like fresh bones and are as food for dogs.

The writings of spiritually advanced saints are like flesh and are as food for tigers.

The writings by living Perfect Masters are like brain and are as food for men!

Good bones when rotted have some semblance of bone, but rotten bones when rotted are like filth.

So, you may go through the scriptures superficially — only to drive away the barking dogs when necessary; for instance, when you are called upon to answer the queries of the priests and the orthodox. [Lord Meher 15: 5267]

Meher Baba: ~ “When the reality appears, this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal.

Meher Baba said: - To love God as he ought to be loved, we must love for God and die for God, knowing that the goal of life is to know God and find him as our own Self.

To realize God is to attain liberation from the bondage of illusion.

Live only to find and realize your true identity with your beloved God.

The energy which is expended in mere thinking, taking or writing is like steam which escapes through the whistle of a railway engine …

That is why the sages have always insisted on practice rather than theory. This applies particularly to those who want to know and realize God.

Meher Baba~ “When we talk of the Infinite and the finite, we are referring to them as two, and the Infinite has already become the second part of the duality. But the Infinite belongs to the non-dual order of being.

If the Infinite is looked upon as the counterpart of the finite, it is, strictly speaking, no longer infinite, but a species of the finite, for it stands outside the finite as its opposite and is thus limited.

Since the Infinite cannot be the second part of the finite, the apparent existence of the finite is false. The Infinite alone exists.

God cannot be brought down to the domain of duality. There is only one being in reality, and it is the Universal Soul. The existence of the finite or the limited is only apparent or imaginary.

Remember:~

~ It means one has to know and realize Soul, the Self is God to find liberation from the bondage of the illusion of birth, life, death and the world (duality). The goal of our life is to find and realize our identity with God, which is the Soul, the Self. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
