MY LOVE SUSTAINS YOUR BEING

Meher Baba

 
I am happy to be in your midst. It is the deep love of some of My lovers in Dehra Dun that has drawn you all together to have My darshan. But to have My real darshan is not easy. To see Me at close quarters, to do obeisance to Me, to offer Me fruits and flowers, to bow down to Me and then to return to your homes can never mean that you have had My darshan. Having seen Me with your own eyes, you have still not seen Me as I am. You have not had even a glimpse of My true Being in spite of your having gone through the convention of so-called "darshan."

To have My real darshan is to find Me. The way to find Me is to find your abode in Me. And the only one and sure way to find your abode in Me is to love Me. To love Me as I love you, you must become the recipient of My grace. Only My grace can bestow the gift of divine love.

To receive My grace, you must obey me wholeheartedly with the firm foundation of unshakeable faith in Me. And you can only obey Me spontaneously as I want when you completely surrender yourselves to Me, so that My wish becomes your law and My love sustains your being. Age after age, many aspire for such a surrender, but only very few really attempt to surrender themselves to Me completely as I want. He who succeeds ultimately not only finds Me but becomes Me and realizes the goal of life.
