Avatar Meher Baba Mesage Given in 1955 Sahavas

[laughingbaba]

This is my all time favorite video of Baba. It gets right to the heart of what I need to do each hour of each day. Thanks kindly for posting a very previous teaching.

Thank God there is God

It took my breath away to see my Friend again, even though technically I have been His follower for over 40 years.

A beau, sobbering discourse. i like that Baba has no hesitation in keeping his follower's focussed on the real task at hand, to remain humble enough to expect nothing of him, to become conscious of real loving (active-verb). If love is conditional upon receiving blessings and favours etc, it certainly is NOT love. It's bartering. It's *i mean mine* looking for fulfillment of desires. If you take those words 100% to heart, it would be the most meaningful act of trust in your life.

@godfreyih: "Suppose one of my followers is speaking.. and just then he is informed of a bus accident in which all of his family has been killed. If in spite of all the tragedy and pain he continues to speak with greater conviction, then he has achieved authority to speak (quantitatively) of me and my teachings (qualitatively)." = "We teach more by WHO we ARE (qualitatively) than by WHAT we TEACH (quantitatively)." - W. Durant = "no big drums - just real sincerity" e.g. no Televangelists!

[endofscene]

@godfreyih People have become too hung up and focused on the Word of God, to the detriment of EXPERIENCING Him. Words are the least reliable purveyor of Truth. Meher Baba maintained verbal silence. If words do not help you to awaken then all the worse for the words. God is a Reality beyond words and even beyond ideas. At the end of the day 'God' is just a word; a powerful word but just a word. At best words can help us to understand things. Experience allows us to Know.

[endofscene]

@godfreyih Don't get caught up on the words. Rather seek the deeper meaning and life behind the words. Although, Meher Baba's words and writings are very eloquent and articulate. By saying that He had come not to teach but to Awaken meant that he had not merely come to give words or principles, but rather to live the message and to make others Realise God. Experience of God, not just understanding of God. Knowing God directly, not just reading or writing about God.

[perfectionsilly]

Amen Baba!

[Merwansirani]

To godfreyih,

When Baba says he comes "not to teach," he is referring to the fact that there is really nothing to teach, there is only knowledge or truth within all of us that needs to be awakened. "I have come not to teach but to awaken" is a famous Baba quotation. So when he says "my teachings", he really means "my awakenings." But if he went around saying "my awakenings", most people would have no idea what he meant.

[onefoot7]

very, very nice video...wow!

[soldatheero]

@comanchio1976 haha what are you saying you are enlightened \ god-realised?

[soldatheero]

Meher warns that everyone will interpet his words differently, he is speaking our language when he says "it is a tragedy".

[soldatheero]

@godfreih Just because his main point here on Earth is not to teach does not mean he is not going to teach whatsoever, that is impossible. What do you expect him to purposely go out of his way to avoid teaching? lol

[oklahuma]

@soldatheero . I enjoyed this posting!

[oklahuma]

@godfreyih Yes, I got your point.

[oklahuma]

@godfreyih . Have you read any of Meher Baba's Discourses? And yet, teachings are just teachings...but to be Awakened, to be able to Awaken, to be the Awakener...that is on a level far beyond a teacher.

[godfreyih]

@oklahuma

I first read MB's work over 40 years ago.

You are missing my point.

So I'll try again

"I come not to teach.. "

but he refers to "my teachings".

He contradicts himself.

[comanchio1976]

@godfreyih You're right, this horshshit is full of contradictions! He says that 'all that isn't god is an illusion' then goes on to speak of a hypothetical bus crash being a 'tragedy'...if it is merely an illusion, then there is no tragedy surely?

I used to be into this mumbo jumbo nonsense, I can't believe how gullible I was!

[godfreyih]

Well, I am sympatico with your feelings comanchio, tho' perhaps I might express them a little less passionately; I did, when all's said and done, meet some delightful people via the MB groups in London back in the late 60s / early 70s, and that's a fact. Although they doubtless would've been just as nice - or nicer - without their belief in MB. Basically it was all too devotional for my taste. MB insisted that being an atheist was acceptable - but I never encountered any at the groups. Pity.

[comanchio1976]

@godfreyih Fair enough, the swearing may have been a little out of line! It's just that I get angry at the thought of countless bogus gurus and charlatans taking vast numbers of well meaning and gentle people for a ride.

I'm impressed by and think it's great that you have first hand experience of this (MB), people would be likely to take on-board your point of view, rather than that of a mere disgruntled ex-Buddhist like myself!

[soldatheero]

@comanchio1976 ".. thengoesonto speak of a hypothetical bus crash being a 'tragedy'...if it is merely an illusion, then there is no tragedy surely?" Say you had knew life was eternal and you had no fear of death but say your family is atheists and take death to be a terrible tragedy. If someone your family knows dies they will all be in distraught and sad, even though you know it isn't necessarily sad, your family does not and it is sad to them. It's a tragedy because people take it as such

[comanchio1976]

@soldatheero if you still operate within the illusion then I am sorry, you still have much of the journey to travel! I wish you much luck with this!

[oklahuma]

@comanchio1976 . Meher Baba was perfectly human.. His definition of a enightened one is someone who is perfectly human.One would go far by reading his chapter entitled Avatar in his Discourses( online). As a follower of Meher Baba.I appreciate atheists more then I appreciate the religious person who has never questioned their faith. And I appreciate all those who view this video and consider what this great Man who lived a short while ago had to say.

[Xiaolian7]

Thank you, Baba. That is so inspiring. I feel my heart opening up.

Hello friends, my name is Dharia and I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. Falun Dafa (or Falun Gong) is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: Truth, Compassion, Forbearance. It helped millions of people to regain health, peace of mind and obtain spiritual fulfillment. Since 1999 this peaceful practice is being brutally persecuted by the CCP in Mainland China.

[loveforbaba]

Who's voice is narrating this video? Would love to contact this person as I have a question.

[barstone7]

Yeah !  Thank you .

Jai Baba Jai Baba !

[D484K225]

If you think you know Meher Baba, then you don't know Meher Baba. To know him one must live life in constant devotion to him, only then there might be a chance of seeing a glimpse of who Baba really IS. After all this time, now I realize that I still have no clue of who Baba really IS. But one day I shall be worthy enough to receive his grace. Until then I wait and do my services without a thought.

[santoshtube69]

Bob Rocks!

[chanra6776]

hes more talkin about me and me...ter no me in true saint

[santoshtube69]

I strongly agree with you. Me is the "I alone exist and everything else is included in the One I" which we all experience as if its devoid of the original I. That's coz of ignorance. And the One individual who can say this with 100% consciousness is He. And its He who is pointing Himself as Me, who includes Everyone.

[bobdogner]

So inspiring. Truly words of God.

[bhanumeher]

Well Done !

[robfindlay]

Great. Does this appear anywhere, in any part, on a DVD? Or is this the whole thing? Well done.

[cr1205]

God Bob...Bob God !

[isgasstsuphr]

This one deserves an Oscar. Nice work! Jai Baba!

[soldatheero]

[roeeko88]
