MEHER BABAS' SILENCE

Meher Babas' Silence “God, Who is in everything and in everyone, is deaf to formal rituals, ceremonies, prayers in mosques, churches and temples. But he hears the voice of the heart. When you help others, God knows instantly and is pleased. No amount of prayer or meditation can do what helping others can do.” ...( Lord Meher pg. 4008)
MEHER BABA - “Man’s inability to live God’s words makes the Avatar’s silence more eloquent than all words spoken by man.” On 10 July 1925, Meher Baba began his long silence, which he kept for the next 44 years. Every 10 July his followers or lovers observe Silence. "When I began my silence, I also gave up writing. I gave up reading. Then I began to use an alphabet board. When people came near me, I used to explain on the alphabet board. I used to give messages to thousands at one time in this way. People came to me by the thousands and tens of thousands. They would sit in silence to hear my message that I would dictate on the board. Very recently, I have given up even the use of my alphabet board, and I try to express what I wish through my gestures." Meher Baba (Lord Meher p.4010.) By 1954, Meher Baba stopped using the alphabet board entirely and communicated only through gestures and facial expressions, often interpreted by his close disciples, usually Eruch.
MB:"The goal of all life is to realize the absolute oneness of God, from whom the universe emanated as a result of the whim of unconscious divinity to know itself as conscious divinity. -------------------------------------------

Above:"Involution" Susan White Painting .. susanwhiteart.com Why should we be born? To take birth means to suffer. When suffering leads to real eternal happiness we should not attach importance to this suffering. It is to eliminate suffering that suffering has to be. Most of this suffering is unnecessary and self-inflicted. Ninety-nine percent of the world’s suffering is self-inflicted. Yet, they ask, “Why must we suffer?” Great suffering means great liberation.

The White Horse Avatar Avatar means "descent", and refers to a descent of the divine into the material realm of human existence. BACK MEHER BABA INFO This present time is known as the 'Kaliyuga' ( which started upon the death of Krishna). The sign or symbol of the Avatar of this 'Yuga' is the Avatar seated on a white horse. Mehera's horse Sufi arrived at Meherabad one day. The horse was pure white and very beautiful. A section of the Mess Quarters was converted into a stable where the horse was kept. Although quite handsome, Sufi proved to have a devil of a spirit! Soon after he was brought, Baba applied vermilion to his forehead and sat on him for a minute. When Baba honored her horse in this manner, the men mandali realized the Master's unique love for Mehera.

THE STATE OF PARATPAR PARABRAHMA : In this state of Beyond-Beyond, God [Paramatma] is completely independent and absolutely free. He cannot even be called God in this state. This state is the root, the base, the source, but it is not used. It is an important state. THE PARABRAHMA STATE: This is the second important state of God. In this state, all God's attributes exist. It is full of infinite bliss, infinite beauty, infinite love; it is the state of complete [divine] consciousness. It is devoid of the first state — God's unconscious state. And to say it is the Paramatma state would also not be correct. JIVATMA STATE : This is the third state of God, of you all sitting here — the drops of the same Infinite Ocean. SHIVATMA STATE : When the jivatma is merged in Paramatma, he becomes Shiva. You are all drops. Paramatma is the Ocean. When this jivatma bubble bursts and becomes one with the Ocean, it is Shivatma. In others words, it is the state either of the Perfect Master or a majzoob. This soul can never have a fall from his highest divine state. This is the state of the seventh plane [Brahma Bhuwan] and is called the Shiva state. But when the Shivatma regains gross consciousness of the world, he is called the Sadguru. The Ever-Conscious Paramatma of this fourth state, who comes down on this gross plane age after age when maya is at its height, is called the Avatar. He is always the One, the same in whatever age and under whatever name he might have descended — Ram, Krishna or Buddha.
