AVATAR of the AGE MEHER BABA MANIFESTING by Bhau Kalchuri AVATAR OF THE AGE MEHER BABA MANIFESTING By Bhau Kalchuri An Avatar Meher Baba Trust eBook Copyright © June 2015 Avatar Meher Baba Trust Source: This eBook is based on the 1985 publication by Manifestation Inc. P.O. Box 991 North Myrtle Beach, SC Registration Number: TX0001774308 Date of Publication: 1985-11-13 The Avatar Meher Baba Trust’s eBooks aspire to be textually exact though nonfacsimile 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. This is dedicated to the Ever Manifest, who appears unmanifest due to the veil of our ignorance. Published by Manifestation, Inc. P.O.

Irani and Bhaiya Pandey Typeset by Custom Composition Company Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Typefaces - Caslon and Times Roman Printed in the United States of America It was Meher Baba himself who instructed me to write about his manifestation. He gave me the few points, titled The Seven Doors, which led to my inspiration for what I have written in this book. Meher Baba is God-Incarnate, the Avatar of the age and he is manifesting his divinity, hence the title AVATAR OF THE AGE MEHER BABA MANIFESTING. Meher Baba gave me instructions to write about his manifestation just a week before he dropped his mortal body to live henceforth as immortal divinity. He is my Master, my Beloved, my Light and my God. He must be acknowledged foremost for he is the source of everything contained in this book. Meher Baba asked me to write and he made me write. To acknowledge what is his purpose here, I must say, it is his work. I can only bow down at his feet. If I remain bowed until the time comes when my self is annihilated, I will know then that I did acknowledge his help. He has revealed to me what I should write about his work, his silence and his manifestation. This book is a sign that he is now manifesting and that he longs for his lovers to know this and to experience this. I salute the love of all those who believe in his manifestation and who are trying to lose themselves in the service and love of the Beloved. My gratitude salutes the love of those dedicated to his divine cause who have helped me in this work for him, so I could fulfill my duty to Baba. Eric Nadel and David Fenster urged me to finish my writing about the manifestation; they were among the first to question me in detail about Baba's manifestation, and David typed my first articles. Janet Judson transcribed several hours of my talks from tapes, when I could find no time to write. Meredith Klein also typed a number of the later articles. Heather Nadel organized and typed the first draft of the manuscript and prepared it for publication. Lawrence Reiter organized the final manuscript for publication and did the final editing with the close assistance of Lyn Ott. The design of the book was also done by Lawrence, and Marsha Forman contributed to the design of the text. Dede Eaton, John Dennison and Nancy Wurzel contributed to the final copyediting and proofreading. Marsha Forman and Judy Gregory typeset the book. Chris Roth contributed to the final renderings of the charts used in the book, which I originally drew. Especial thanks to Susan White for the drawing of Baba gesturing instructions to me. Appreciation and gratitude is expressed to the founders of Manifestation, lnc. Who have made it possible for my writings to reach the western world. Finally, my salutations through tears of joy to all those who believe in the Reality of Meher Baba's manifestation and long to experience divinity.

  • The Ten States of God
    The Ten States of God By Eruch B. Jessawala “The Ten States of God” which follows was written by Eruch B. Jessawala under the direct supervision of Meher Baba, describing and interpreting an original diagram, “The Ten States of God,” d evised by Meher Baba. —The Editors 157 The Ten Principal States of God Depicted by Meher Baba* State I God in Beyond-Beyond State II God in Beyond Sub-States A, B, C State III God as Emanator, Sustainer and Dissolver State IV God as Embodied Soul State V God as Soul in the State of Evolution State VI God as Human Soul in the State of Reincarnation State VII God in The State of Spiritually Advanced Souls State VIII God as The Divinely Absorbed State IX God as Liberated Incarnate Soul State X God as Man-God and God-Man * See chart. 158 PART 9 The Ten States of God TH E PA G E S of this chapter are built around the diagram depicting The Ten States of God. This diagram has been given by Meher Baba himself; it is a gem from the fathomless tre a s u re of his supre m e gnosis. The spiritual terms of this diagram have been linked up with the most generally accepted Sufi, Vedantic and Christian mys- tical equivalents. If we were to take a bird ’s-eye view of this diagram we should find that it depicts what is really the downward journey of the O v e r-Soul to the lowest point of devolution as man (insan, jiv- atma), and its upward journey again through the unfolding planes of consciousness, back to the original source, first as the divinely absorbed Majzoob-e-Kamil and culminating finally in the Perf e c t Man (Insan-e-Kamil, Shiv-Atma).

Vinieron de Europa, Australia y los Estados Unidos de América. Tenían entre 25 y 80 años de edad. Sus ocupaciones eran muy variadas. Había varios literatos, un químico especia- lizado en petróleo, un decorador de interiores, un importador y exportador, un funcionario del correo, un maletero, un com- prador de antigüedades para una tienda de Londres, un urba- nizador y un economista. El 11 de septiembre partimos hacia Ahmednagar en dos ómnibus alquilados por Meherji Karkaria y Nariman Dadachanji, dos cercanos discípulos de Baba, de Bombay, quienes también acompañaron hasta Ahmednagar al grupo. Allí nos reunimos con dos devotos más de Inglaterra, que habían llegado antes.
