GLIMPSES of the GOD-MAN MEHER BABA Volume 1 (1943-1948) GLIMPSES OF THE GOD-MAN MEHER BABA Volume 1 (1943-1948) By Bal Natu An Avatar Meher Baba Trust eBook June 2011 Copyright © 1977 by Bal Natu Source: This eBook reproduces the original edition of Glimpses of the God-Man, Meher Baba, Volume1, published by Sufism Reoriented (Walnut Creek, California) in 1977. eBooks at the Avatar Meher Baba Trust Web Site The Avatar Meher Baba Trust’s eBooks aspire to be textually exact though non-facsimile reproductions of published books, journals and articles. With the consent of the copyright holders, these online editions are being made available through the Avatar Meher Baba Trust’s web site, for the research needs of Meher Baba’s lovers and the general public around the world. Again, the eBooks reproduce the text, though not the exact visual likeness, of the original publications. They have been created through a process of scanning the original pages, running these scans through optical character recognition (OCR) software, reflowing the new text, and proofreading it. Except in rare cases where we specify otherwise, the texts that you will find here correspond, page for page, with those of the original publications: in other words, page citations reliably correspond to those of the source books. But in other respects—such as lineation and font—the page designs differ. Our purpose is to provide digital texts that are more readily downloadable and searchable than photo facsimile images of the originals would have been. Moreover, they are often much more readable, especially in the case of older books, whose discoloration and deteriorated condition often makes them partly illegible. Since all this work of scanning and reflowing and proofreading has been accomplished by a team of volunteers, it is always possible that errors have crept into these online editions. If you find any of these, please let us know, by emailing us at [email protected]. The aim of the Trust’s online library is to reproduce the original texts faithfully. In certain cases, however—and this applies especially to some of the older books that were never republished in updated versions—we have corrected certain small errors of a typographic order. When this has been done, all of these corrections are listed in the “Register of Editorial Alterations” that appears at the end of the digital book. If you want the original text in its exact original form, warts and all, you can reconstruct this with the aid of the “register.” The Trust’s Online Library remains very much a work in progress. With your help and input, it will increase in scope and improve in elegance and accuracy as the years go by. In the meantime, we hope it will serve the needs of those seeking to deepen and broaden their own familiarity with Avatar Meher Baba’s life and message and to disseminate this good news throughout the world.

Irani; the Universal Spiritual League in America, Inc.; Sufism Reoriented, Inc.; Phyllis Frederick for The Awakener, also Kitty Davy and Delia DeLeon; and Meher House, Australia. I would be failing in my duty if I did not mention those who so lovingly helped me in bringing out this book. I am very grateful to Eruch Jessawala, one of Meher Baba's closest disciples, who spared time to read the drafts of my articles. He directed me in my writing and suggested important corrections. I also wish to thank my dear friend U. G. Parkhe, who untiringly did all the typing and kept up my enthusiasm in completing the book. Adi K. Irani, Meher Baba's secretary and disciple, was a great help to me at almost all the meetings with Meher Baba recorded herein. He also permitted me to go through the files in the record room, and he graciously consented to write the Introduction. I am grateful to him for his timely help. The articles first appeared in Divya Vani, a monthly magazine published in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh), for which I am thankful to the editorial staff. It was a happy coincidence that Murshida Ivy Duce of Sufism Reoriented gladly agreed to arrange for publication of these articles in book form in the United States. I am especially indebted to Margery Rogers of Sufism Reoriented for editing the articles and preparing the final manuscript and those who assited 9 10 GLIMPSES OF THE GOD-MAN her — Tracy Craig, Ellen Sirota and Sharon Childs — and also to Ira Deitrick. I am deeply grateful to Peter Townshend whose generous contribution made this printing possible. Bal Natu Meher Prasad Kurduwadi, M. S., India June 7, 1974 Bal Natu Introduction What is man? A state of full and complete consciousness limited by the individualized human mind. What is God? The Infinite Consciousness, unbounded and immaculate. When the mind with all its thoughts and feelings is effaced, there is nothing to limit the infinitesimal "drop" of consciousness and it experiences itself as the "Ocean" of Infinite Consciousness. This is the very purpose of Creation. This is the state of Self-realization or God-realization. This final experience confers complete absorption of the "drop" in the infinitude of God. Such a one is not aware of the world — for him it does not exist. If by the Divine Will he regains normal human consciousness and spiritually guides people, he is called a Perfect Master — a Sadguru or Qutub. Thus a man-become- God is a Man-God. He is the Individualized Ocean. Once in a while, however, it is ordained that the Infinite Consciousness apparently "descends" into the world of Illusion and assumes a human form to give a worldwide spiritual push to everyone and everything created. Such a One is known as the Avatar — the Buddha, the Messiah, the Christ, the Prophet. It is part of the Divine Sport. Thus the God-become-man is the God- Man, the Oceanized individual. Such a recurring Advent of God is as ancient as 11 12 GLIMPSES OF THE GOD-MAN Creation itself, so He is called the Ancient One. He comes amidst mankind to set a noble example of Divine Life and to reaffirm the faith of man in himself as the potential Infinite Divine Existence. The Sport consists in realizing this Truth consciously. The Avatar's presence coincides with a vital push felt in various fields of life — art, music, literature, sports, science and, above all, spiritual understanding. In different Advents the man-form changes but the formless God as the Ancient One remains unchanged. In every cycle the declaration of His divinity is in conformity with the need of the time, and His special messages revitalize spiritual precepts. In the present cycle, Meher Baba has verily proclaimed: "I am the Ancient One, the One residing in every heart. I was Rama, I was Krishna, I was this One, I was that One, and now I am Meher Baba." And in one of His messages He has specifically stated: "I belong to no religion, every religion belongs to Me. My own personal religion is my being the Ancient Infinite One, and the religion I teach to all is love for God. I am the Divine Beloved. Therefore, love others, make others happy, serve others even at discomfort to yourself — this is to love me." Merwan Sheriarji Irani, endearingly called by His followers "Meher Baba," was born of Zoroastrian parents on February 25, 1894, in Poona, Maharashtra, India. While He was studying at Deccan College in Poona, in May 1913 an old woman, a centenarian named Hazrat Babajan, beckoned to Him. Like iron to a magnet, Merwan was drawn to her. She gazed intently into His eyes, lovingly embraced Him and kissed Him on His forehead between the eyebrows. What an incredible meeting! This contact made Merwan experience thrills of indescribable bliss for a period of nine months and marked the end of His college studies.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines a group of terracotta sculptures attributed to an artist known as the Master of the Unruly Children. The name of this artist was coined by Wilhelm von Bode, on the occasion of his first grouping seven works featuring animated infants in Berlin and London in 1890. Due to the distinctive characteristics of his work, this personality has become a mainstay of scholarship in Renaissance sculpture which has focused on identifying the anonymous artist, despite the physical evidence which suggests the involvement of several hands. Chapter One will examine the historiography in connoisseurship from the late nineteenth century to the present and will explore the idea of the scholarly “construction” of artistic identity and issues of value and innovation that are bound up with the attribution of these works.

  • The Gospel Project President, Lifeway Research
    CHRONOLOGICAL A.D. B.C. Volume 1 FALL 2015: Leader Guide ESV Ed Stetzer General Editor Trevin Wax Managing Editor God’s Word to You A Summary of the Bible In the beginning, the all-powerful, personal God created the universe. This God created human beings in His image to live joyfully in His presence, in humble submission to His gracious authority. But all of us have rebelled against God and, in consequence, must suffer the punishment of our rebellion: physical death and the wrath of God. Thankfully, God initiated a rescue plan, which began with His choosing the nation of Israel to display His glory in a fallen world. The Bible describes how God acted mightily on Israel’s behalf, rescuing His people from slavery and then giving them His holy law. But God’s people—like all of us—failed to rightly reflect the glory of God. Then, in the fullness of time, in the Person of Jesus Christ, God Himself came to renew the world and restore His people. Jesus perfectly obeyed the law given to Israel. Though innocent, He suffered the consequences of human rebellion by His death on a cross. But three days later, God raised Him from the dead. Now the church of Jesus Christ has been commissioned by God to take the news of Christ’s work to the world. Empowered by God’s Spirit, the church calls all people everywhere to repent of sin and to trust in Christ alone for our forgiveness. Repentance and faith restores our relationship with God and results in a life of ongoing transformation.
