Love can attain what the intellect cannot fathom. Meher Baba More Quotes by Meher Baba More Quotes From Meher Baba Love has to spring spontaneously from within And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; But though love cannot be forced on anyone, It can be awakened in him through love itself.

True love is unconquerable and irresistible, And it goes on gathering power and spreading itself, Until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches.

When you are too much engrossed in it, you are lost in it. And when you are lost in it, your ego diminishes. And when the ego diminishes, love infinite appears. Meher Baba forget-everythingegotoo-much The experiences are so innumerable and varied, that the journey appears to be interminable and the Destination is ever out of sight.

But the limited ego-mind identifies itself with its past, gets entangled with it and keeps alive the pangs of frustrated desires. Meher Baba egoworrypast God alone is real, and all else is illusion. Meher Baba illusionreal God has come again and again in various Forms, has spoken again and again in different words and different languages the Same One Truth - but how many are there that live up to it?
