Garrett Fort was full of questions about what constituted spirituality, renunciation, and the spiritual path. On December 17th, (1936) Baba stated to the group, while directing his comments at Fort: “Divinity is not devoid of humanity – it lifts mankind to God. Nor does spirituality necessarily imply the renunciation of worldly activities. “True spirituality signifies the internal renunciation of mundane …

Meher Baba gave discourses to the children, often using similes and analogies to illustrate his points. On December 18th (1927), Baba brought out a doll and explained the progression of evolution.

On the evening of December 15th (1956), Baba informed the women mandali:  During the last seventy-five days of my seclusion, beginning from the day of the accident, I have to work through physical suffering.

After a short visit to Dhulia to see Kalemama, on the 15th of December (1929), Baba gave the following explanation to the mandali about the difference between the Avatar and the Perfect Masters: Every God-Realized personality is perfect.

CRITICISM of Baba by the press was a regular occurrence those days. Behind it was Colonel Irani, who was quite clever and active in his propaganda campaign.

As previously explained, there are an infinite number of worlds which have cooled down, and for each such world to cool down takes cycles and cycles. Imagine how long!

On December 12th (1941), Baba explained another point to the women about meditation: Those of you who are unable to meditate should repeat my name without being bothered by thoughts.

The cub remained hungry, without food or water for days. A …

(Dec 1939) You must first understand what real love means. Selfish motives, even in what people call love, often deceive them, and they mistake selfish feelings for love. I will make the point clear with an example. A person talking of love will say, “I love my Beloved. I want my Beloved to be with me,” and so on. In …

MEANWHILE, Baba had written to Kumar in Dehra Dun to bring the mast Nilkanth from Rishikesh back to Meherazad, but only if and when the mast showed complete willingness to do so.
