    Meher Baba Quotes

1. Why is it so difficult to find God? It is because you are looking for something you have never lost.
    
2. The most fundamental requisite for the candidate who would be a true disciple is an unquestioning love for the Master.
    
3. Solitude is one of the essential conditions of at-taining success in meditation.
    
4. My work is intensely practical. It is not practical to overemphasize the material at the cost of the spiritual. It is not practical to have spiritual ideals without putting them into practice. To realize the ideal in daily life, to give a beautiful and adequate form to the living spirit, to make a brotherhood a fact, this is practical in the truest sense of the word.
    
5. Always be in readiness to serve the cause of humanity. Select the kind of work you are qualified to do by your individual aptitude and abilities. And whatever service you can render must faithfully be carried out.
    
6. Far more blest is the atheist who discharges his worldly responsibilities, accepting them as his honourable duty, than the man who presumes himself a devout believer in God yet shirks the responsibilities apportioned to him through divine law and runs after sadhus, saints, and yogis, seeking relief from the suffering which ultimately would have effected his eternal liberation.
    
7. He who does not want things, to him things come. But he who tastes for the sake of tasting gets entangled and loses.
    
8. Man is only partially satisfied in his attempt to have the fulfilment of his desires. And this partial satisfaction fans and increases the flame of craving instead of extinguishing it. So greed always finds an endless field of conquest, and leaves the man endlessly dissatisfied.
    
9. Say, "I do not want any-thing," and be happy. The continuous realization of the futility of wants will eventually lead you to Knowledge. This Self-knowledge will give you the freedom from wants to the road to abiding happiness.
    
10. The prayer God hears is the prayer of the heart, that raising of the heart, that suffering of the heart is what God pays attention to; certainly it is foolish to rely upon the usual religious practices and ritual. What matters is your heart, the prayer that arises from your heart, that is the prayer that Baba hears, that God hears.
     
11. The energy which is expended in mere thinking, talking or writing is like the steam which escapes through the whistle of the railway engine. The whistle makes a noise, and is even interesting, but it cannot drive the engine. No amount of whistling can move the engine forward. The steam has to be harnessed and used intelligently in order that it may actually take the engine to its destination. That is why the sages have always insisted on practice rather than theory. This applies particularly to those who want to know and realize God.
