THE ANCIENT ONE

 
I was Rama, I was Krishna, I was this One, I was that One, and now I am Meher Baba. In this form of flesh and blood, I am that same Ancient One who is eternally worshipped and ignored, ever remembered and forgotten. I am that Ancient One whose past is worshipped and remembered, whose present is ignored and forgotten, and whose future (Advent) is anticipated with great fervour and longing.

I am the Ancient One. Not a leaf has the power to quiver without My wish. I am the One who knows everything about everyone.

I am God. I am in you all. I never come and I never go. I am present everywhere.

The glory of the suns is the seventh shadow of My real state of Reality. Even a glimpse of the glory is enough for one to lose all consciousness.

I am the Universal Thief; I steal hearts.
