Everywhere today man is rightfully occupied with the problem
of world peace. If there is war, it means nothing short
of racial suicide and total destruction. But world peace cannot be ensured
through dogmas, however learned,
or organizations, however efficient. It can be ensured only by a release
of unarguing and unconquerable love which
knows no fear or separateness.
Humanity is not going to be saved by any material power
- nuclear or otherwise. It can be saved only through
divine intervention. God has never failed humanity in its dark and
critical periods. The greatest danger to man today
is not from any natural catastrophe, but from himself.
It is not possible to realize human brotherhood merely by
appealing to high ideals or to a sense of duty. Something more than that
is essential to release human consciousness from the clutches of selfishness and
greed.
Today the urgent need of mankind is not sects or organized
religions, but LOVE. Divine love will conquer hate and fear.
It will not depend upon other justifications, but will justify itself.
I have come to awaken in man this divine love. It will
restore to him the unfathomable richness of his own
eternal being and will solve all of his problems.
LIFE AT ITS BEST, ed/ Ivy O. Duce, pp.44-45.
In the spiritual path, these messages and addresses mean nothing. Without actual experience, all philosophical statements are idle talk, and all these ceremonies are further addition to the existing illusion.
If, instead of erecting churches, fire-temples, mandirs (temples) and mosques, people were to establish the House of God in their hearths for their Beloved God, my work will have been done. If, instead of performing ceremonies and ritual mechanically as age-old customs, people were to serve their fellow beings with the selflessness of love, taking God to be equally residing in one and all, and thinking that by serving others they are serving God, my work will have been fulfilled.
I give you all my blessings so that if not all, some of you, a few of you or even one of you could love God honestly and find me in everyone and everything.
LORD MEHER, Vol. 11 & 12, p. 4335, Bhau Khalchuri
Silently cry out within you own self, "Beloved One, reveal Yourself to me as my own Real Self."
You have had enough of words, I have had enough of words. It is not through words that I give what I have to give. In the silence of your perfect surrender, My love, which is always silent, can flow to you - to be yours always to keep and to share with those who seek Me. When the Word of My Love breaks out of its silence and speaks in your hearts, telling you who I really am, then you will know that that is the Real Word you have been always longing to hear.
