Divine Theme (with charts): Evolution, Reincarnation, Realisation is an abstract of Baba’s cosmology and a description of the journey of the soul. It reads “God, the Oversoul, alone is real. Nothing exists but God. The different souls are in the Oversoul and one with it. The processes of evolution, reincarnation and realisation are all necessary in order to enable the soul to gain self-consciousness.” In 1943, Baba called 125 of His followers to Meherabad to meditate on material found in the booklet’s charts, material which was later incorporated into the supplement to His book God Speaks.

82 Family Letters - To the Western Family of Lovers and Followers of Meher Baba by Mani Irani Mani would send these letters to us (Elizabeth Patterson, Norina Matchabelli and Kitty Davy) at Meher Spiritual Center, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Immediately photocopies were made and dispatched to all the Meher Baba group-heads in the various cities of the U.S.A. The group heads knew all the individuals who attended their group meetings or who in their area were otherwise drawn to Meher Baba. With remarkable speed, the group-heads and their helpers distributed the Family Letters. Thus the individual felt always in personal contact with Meher Baba. The letters to His Family were not only approved by Meher Baba, they were written at His wish; and often Baba would remind Mani that it was time for another letter. Every letter was read out to Baba. At times He directed some portion of it to be deleted, and often He had some message or information added to the letter. And so these letters were, in effect, from Baba. Read Book

In Dust I Sing by Francis Brabazon From the back cover - The eternal Beloved, Avatar Meher Baba, over the years I was with him at Meherazad gave me the shape and content of these poems. The form is based on the Persian ghazal, perfected by Hafiz 600 years ago and carried down in the Urdu language to the present day. The content is the relationship between the Lover and the Beloved – a relationship that is never wholly fulfilled until the Lover ceases to exist in himself and passes away in the Beloved. This relationship has its root in the very nature of God, which is love. As Baba has explained it: God is Love. And Love must love. And to love there must be a Beloved. But since God is Existence infinite and eternal there is no one for Him to love but Himself. And in order to love Himself He must imagine Himself as the Beloved whom He as the Lover imagines He loves. Read Book

It fills man with immortal sweetness and unbounded joy. Through His love all became resurrected…” Read Book

Memoirs of a Zetetic - My Life with meher Baba by Amiya Kumar Hazra "From these memoirs one concludes that small men with small minds have large egos. The mind can be as destructive as a host of locusts when they descend on a garden. In their ignorance, the zetetics resist His knowledge; in their helplessness they defy His power; in their blindness they defy His light. If they could only be free of the inhibiting and corroding influence of their intellectual wisdom, their hearts would open up to the flow of His grace. The sun of His love always shines whether we bask in its rays or shun it. Meher Baba's love will always remain beyond the domain of intellectual understanding as anything comprehensible can never touch the fringe of Reality. Kabir says, "That body which has life but no love, I take as a corpse. Like the smithy's bellows, it breathes but does not live." It is impossible to learn God, but one can earn Him by loving Him as He should be loved. With Baba's love and grace, Amiya Kumar has a conviction that Baba is God, a conviction that is strong, unassailable, unchallengeable." - Dr. H. P. Bharucha Read Book

Sparks of the Truth From Dissertations of Meher Baba by C.D. Deshmukh Twenty powerful dissertations on the spiritual path, the nature of the soul and the meaning of life. Pointed and pithy, these messages in many ways shake up some frequently held misconceptions about the spiritual life. While in good part based on diary records from the 1920s, it should be underscored that the essays in Sparks are emphatically not edits and rewrites of discourses that Baba gave at an earlier time. In each essay Deshmukh has identified his own theme and subject and has selected material from diverse and widely separated sources to fill out his exposition, writing up the selected content in his own prose. Read Book

Stay With God by Francis Brabazon STAY WITH GOD (1959) is a lucid exposition of the Advent on earth, in our time, of the God-Man and of this living embodiment of Godhood as the Salvation of Mankind from its state of permanent anxiety and threatened annihilation. This God-Man is not seen as the Son of a Father, but as the very Self of each one of us and therefore, easily knowable to anyone directly, without an intermediary. In the creative process of perceiving the meaning of the God-Man, the author examines the values of Mankind, both Eastern and Western, past and present, as represented in Art and Literature. His language, arising directly from the urgency of his message and the clarity of his vision, avoids rigid crystallizations, by which modern poetry is immobilized and essence and vitality excluded.

The Work of Meher Baba with Advanced Souls and Sadhus by William Donkin Published in 1948 by Adi K. Irani for Meher Publications. Donkin describes it as “a kind of epilogue” to his book The Wayfarers, which chronicles Baba’s extensive contact with masts or God-intoxicated souls. The present work thus begins approximately one week after The Wayferers ends, on 15th March 1948, and covers up to 14th May 1948. One passage captures the sweet expression of love shown by a child to his Father: “[Vishnu Datt Digambar] is a very high type; and Baba said of him that he was three in one—a mast, a saint, and a child; and that and he was one of the best contacted in Uttar Kashi...He was very happy to contact Baba and made gestures of ‘flying kisses’ towards him.
