All other books by Meher Baba, such as the Discourses and Listen Humanity spdaks, are not written as books, as God Speaks is, but are collections of essays and messages. When the human form is reached, along with the gross body, the subtle and mental bodies also reach full development and although they remain unconscious, the soul indirectly works through them in the corresponding spheres. When I have sacrificed my angel soul, I shall become what no mind e’er conceived. Yet from the point meherr view of souls still within the domain of illusion, they have a sequence in time. InMeher Baba made the first of many visits to the West, where he babba followers. Meher Baba’s explanations do not come to disprove any scientific discoveries of biological evolution, but rather examine a different side of the process. God Speaks. Only through the grace of a Perfect Masteror Sadgurucan this final union be accomplished. In other words, the soul identifies itself with these successive forms whereupon full consciousness is achieved in the form of man; however, despite achieving full consciousness man is still unaware haba his original state. In his book Mastery of ConsciousnessAllan Y. Each of these states is an eternal state for the consciousness which has overcome all illusion. This is not a lonely journey as many spiritual speas — and especially the Avatar — are available for contact, support, and guidance, including power to give a spiritual push to the aspirant. At this point consciousness finds itself in the biggest danger of its long development. Every other highly spiritual mehre of a similar magnitude was written hundreds of years ago and in another language. Dec 29, Talat rated it it was amazing Shelves: God Speaks is Meher Baba’s most significant published book. God Speaks – Wikipedia. When one of the five Perfect Masters drops his body, he is said to “pass-away as God”. I have learned that we are not this body, truth is a process not an object to be coveted and that God alone is real. Yet Baba was patient and would literally spend hours to convey something. So when the human form is reached, although consciousness is fully developed, it has a store of impressions that still need to be experienced. God created according to His own “whim,” the whim to know Himself. He taught that the Universe is imagination, that God is what really exists, and that each soul is really God passing through imagination to realize individually His own divinity. During reincarnation consciousness tries to liberate itself from the burden of collected impressions. No trivia or quizzes yet. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. He reveals things about consciousness that have never been revealed before, including the hierarchy of advance beings. Nov 16, Alex Giurgea rated it really liked it. The only take away spraks this book is that it does not seem to be written to be simply read. During this period, Baba would trace letters with his finger on either a stool or any other convenient surface. The science is trying to prove the existence of God. Through the entire process of evolution, the soul has been consciously identifying itself with the evolving gross body shariryet, unconsciously, it has also been identifying itself with the evolving subtle and mental body pran and mana. He reveals things about consciousness that How anyone could rate this book anything but 5 star is beyond me. When the impressions through association with a particular form have been exhausted, the soul dissociates from that form. Want to Read saving…. Being not conscious of the gross world its experience gives rise only to subtle impressions of the sights, scents and sounds of the mdher world. The book was full of little gems but it wasn’t very easy to read. Cohen summarizes, “In elaborate detail he explains the universe is an arena where infinite baab, identifying with the apparently limited soul, becomes more and more conscious of its oneness with itself as the Over-Soul. Rather, for Meher Baba, “reincarnation” refers only to identification and dis-identification with forms conceived in illusion, i. Apr 21, Gary Noguera rated it it was amazing. Meyer rated it really liked it Feb 01, The God speaks is really fabulous to read. God Speaks. The many diffuse concepts of spiritual truth, as well as new and detailed thought patterns, are clarified and brought together in this monumental work. The book describes the intricate process of reincarnation and the inward journey along the spiritual path as the soul consciously returns to the Oversoul of its origin. It covers “The Planes,” “States of Divine Consciousness,” and includes twelve charts, supplements, glossary, and index. 2nd edition, 1973. Fourth Printing. Avatar Meher Baba. Merwan Sheriar Irani, known as Meher Baba, was born in Poona, India, on February 25, 1894, of Persian parents. His father, Sheriar Irani, was of Zoroastrian faith and a true seeker of God. Merwan went to a Christian high school in Poona and later attended Deccan College. In 1913 while still in college, Merwan experienced a momentous event . a meeting with Hazrat Babajan, an ancient Mohammedan woman and one of the five Perfect Masters of the Age. Babajan gave him God-Realization and made him aware of his high spiritual destiny. Eventually, he was drawn to seek out another perfect master, Upasni Maharaj, a Hindu who lived in Sakori. During the next seven years, Maharaj gave Merwan “gnosis” or divine knowledge. Thus, Merwan attained spiritual perfection. His spiritual mission began in 1921 when he drew together his first close disciples. It was these early disciples who gave him the name Meher Baba, which means “Compassionate Father.” After years of intensive training of his disciples, Meher Baba established a colony near Ahmednagar that is called Meherabad. Here, the Master’s work embraced a free school where spiritual training was stressed, a free hospital and dispensary, and shelters for the poor. No distinction was made between the high castes and the untouchables; all mingled in common fellowship through the inspiration of the Master. To his disciples at Meherabad, who were of different castes and creeds, he gave a training of moral discipline, love for God, spiritual understanding and selfless service. Meher Baba told his disciples that from July 10, 1925 he would observe Silence. He maintained this Silence until the end of his life, January 31, 1969. His many spiritual discourses and messages were dictated by means of an alphabet board. Much later the Master discontinued the use of the board and reduced all communication to hand gestures unique in expressiveness and understandable to many. Meher Baba traveled to America six times, first in 1931, when he contacted his early Western disciples. His last visit to America was in 1958 when he and his disciples stayed at the Center established for his work at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In India as many as one hundred thousand people have come in one day to seek his Darshan, or blessing; from all over the world there are those who journeyed to spend a few days, even a single day, in his presence. An important part of Meher Baba’s work through the years was to contact and personally serve hundreds of those known in India as “masts.” These are advanced pilgrims on the spiritual path who have become spiritually intoxicated from direct awareness of God. For this work he traveled many thousands of miles to remote places throughout India and Ceylon. Other vital work was the washing of the lepers, the washing of the feet of thousands of poor, and the distribution of grain and cloth to the destitute. Meher Baba asserts that he is the same Ancient One, come again to redeem humanity from the bondage of ignorance and to guide individuals to realize their true Self which is God. Meher Baba is acknowledged by his many followers all over the world as the Avatar of the Age. God Speaks by Meher Baba. First printing.

  • KG-128B Eruch Jessawala Mandali Hall, Meherazad, India March 2
    Page 1 of 5 KG-128B Eruch Jessawala Mandali Hall, Meherazad, India March 2, 1980 44:39 Content [Verbatim, more or less, Eruch speaking:] We have got ourselves lost in our falsehood, in associating ourselves with [our false self] all the time. Pilgrim: "When we drop the body, where does the spirit reside?” Eruch: Baba gave a very simple example. Do you have a flashlight? Turn it on, [point it toward the wall] and you see [the circle it makes] right in the center of the wall. [That's like the attention Eruch pays to his apparent existence in his life -- attention to examining the detail in the wall.] Eruch gets tired of [looking at the wall], he has seen it, and he looks away. That is death. Consciousness has changed its focus. Consciousness' focus changes and it changes to what Eruch had done in the past, and what Eruch was, to think about what had passed, and we go look at the film of our lives, but when Eruch is finished, his focus shifts to something more sublime, and that is his next birth. There is no such thing as reincarnation, and yet there is, and both are right. Vedantists assert reincarnation and Buddhists, and others assert not. Baba says you are what your mind is, and mind is born once and dies once and in that sense there is no reincarnation. The mind plays lots of tricks, and when you go to sound sleep you wake up in the body, but after a deeper sleep the mind wakes up in another body.

    God .!!l. a pill? Sufism Reoriented, Inc. 1290 Sutter Street San Francisco, Calif. 94109 MEHER BABA on L. S. D. and THE HIGHROADS "Alas, alas, I pity those who compare a glass bead to a pearl. " Hafiz Many of those drawn to the use of LSD and other mind-changing drugs are prompted by the need to find out whether some enduring reality and purpose is to be found in life. The ideal is to experience such a sense of reality and purpose for oneself, if it is to be had. Many of those who have taken LSD trips are deeply affected by their experiences, regarding the use of psychedelics not only as a means of developing key insights into their own problems, but into the nature and purpose of creation as well. Certain individuals have become pioneers and in a sense prophets of the movement, largely as a result of the re- ligious and even mystic implications that appear to flow from use of the drugs. In this connection it is imperative to search for corroboration or refuta- tion of these implications from persons credited with a high state of spiritual development, through other disciplines. Meher Babe , of Ahmednagar, India, is such a one. Revered by millions throughout the world as a God-realized being and as Avatar of the age, he is doubtless the best non-acid authority available to compare the results of chemical stimulation of the deeper layers of being with those produced by techniques known and used throughout time by spiritual teachers. Through an unusual series of events, Meher Baba has captured the devotion and imagination of a number of young thinkers and experimentalists who have been in the early forefront of the psychedelic movement.

  • A Sufi Reading of the Gospel of John Based on the Writings of Muḥyī Al-Dīn Ibn Al-ʿarabī (1165-1240 CE)
    The World Could Not Contain the Pages: A Sufi Reading of the Gospel of John Based on the Writings of Muḥyī al-Dīn Ibn al-ʿArabī (1165-1240 CE) Michael Wehring Wolfe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Michael Wehring Wolfe All rights reserved Abstract The World Could Not Contain the Pages: A Sufi Reading of the Gospel of John Based on the Writings of Muḥyī al-Dīn Ibn al-ʿArabī (1165-1240 CE) Michael Wehring Wolfe This dissertation addresses the question: how might the Sufi master, Muḥyī al-Dīn Ibn al-ʿArabī (1165-1240 CE), have read the Gospel of John? Although the Gospel of John belongs originally to the Christian tradition, this dissertation is a contribution to Islamic Studies, endeavoring to illuminate Ibn al-ʿArabī’s distinctive manner of reading religious texts and to highlight features of his negotiation of a dual heritage from Jesus and Muḥammad. To set Ibn al-ʿArabī’s thought against an Islamic backdrop and situate it in an Islamic context, this dissertation adopts the device of constructing a commentary, guided by seminal passages in Ibn al-ʿArabī’s written corpus, on an Arabic translation of the Gospel of John: the Alexandrian Vulgate, widely circulated in the Arab world during Ibn al-ʿArabī’s time. This amounts not only to a comparison between Johannine doctrines and Ibn al-ʿArabī’s doctrines, but also a comparison between the latter and historical Muslim commentaries on the Christian scriptures—particularly the Biblical commentary (in circulation by the thirteenth century) attributed to the famed Sufi theologian Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī, and the fourteenth-century Muslim Biblical commentary by Najm al-Dīn al- Ṭūfī (d.

  • The Tradition of Story-Telling, of the Lives Of
    Katie Videos – A Brief Introduction The tradition of story-telling is a large part of wisdom teaching the world over. Stories of the lives of past Avataric incarnations and their close disciples (Bible, Ramayana and Mahabharata), the so-called myths and fabricated stories of different cultures (Odyssey, King Arthur, Monkey, etc) as well as the histories of Saints and Masters (“Life of Milarepa”, “Muslim Saints and Mystics”, “Little Flowers of Saint Francis”, etc), have the intended effect of loosening the bonds of spiritual ignorance of those who are ripe for transformation. It is said that parables (“earthly stories with heavenly meanings”) make up about one third of the teachings of Christ; and many of the Jataka tales, which are accounts purported to be of His previous births in varied animal forms told by the Buddha, can have a similarly powerful impact on ignorance. To quote from the Introduction to Eruch Jessawala’s story collection That’s How It Was, “These incidents from Eruch’s life with Baba are not told to simply pass the time, but to help people get a better understanding of how to live with God and for God.” That is, to live the spiritual life, in the growing awareness of the greater Reality. Meher Baba has likewise told many stories, some retold by Eruch Jessawala (That’s How It Was), Bhau Kalchuri (Nectar for the Children) and others. The stories told by Meher Baba and his disciples will have a special significance, as they are the “fresh Quaker Oats”, for people living in these modern times.

  • Stay with God: a Seven-Session Course of Study of Francis Brabazon's Epic Masterpiece
    Stay with God: a Seven-Session Course of Study of Francis Brabazon’s Epic Masterpiece Saturdays, 2:30–4:30 p.m., April 15 through June 3 Baba’s House, Avatar’s Abode Composed at Meher Baba’s directive, read out to Him several times, and incorporating Baba’s own additions and corrections, Francis Brabazon’s Stay with God stands alone in the “Meher Baba library” as a presentation without parallel of who the God-Man is and the significance of His Avataric Advent. Sweeping in what it undertakes and supremely beautiful in its poetry, Francis’s epic masterpiece lays a major foundation for the culture of New Humanity in the age to come. Indeed, Meher Baba Himself said that it was second in importance only to God Speaks. Over the sessions of this program we will begin to unpack some of the dazzling riches of this multi-dimensional epic treasure palace. The poem is divided into five sections or “books”: the first, a biographical narrative of Baba’s life through the Meherabad Sahavas of 1955; the second, a love-poem; the third, a poetic retelling of the Divine Theme narrative in God Speaks; the fourth, a meditation on the “turning” that brings one to the threshold of the spiritual path and the feet of the Perfect Master; and the last, a sweeping survey of the cultural and spiritual history of the world, replete with commentary and criticism, as Francis proclaims and celebrates the descent of the God-Man and the role that He plays age after age. Much of the program will be devoted to tracing the progress of his “argument” through its various modalities and genres and subject matters.
