17 CHAPTER 6 Teachings If anyone would be the first, he must be last of all and servant of all. - Jesus No amount of prayer or meditation can do what helping others can do. - Meher Baba Always be in readiness to serve the cause of humanity. Select the kind of work you are qualified to do by your individual aptitude and abilities. And whatever service you can render must faithfully be carried out. - Meher Baba Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love make it your habit to serve one another. - Jesus People must give and then receive. First give and then you will have all. But instead, people want to first have all and then think of giving. This is not the right way. - Meher Baba Feelings of heat and cold, pleasure and pain, are caused by the contact of the senses with their objects. They come and they go, never lasting long. You must accept them. - Krishna The only way of not being upset by the blame is to be detached from the praise also; it is only through complete detachment that a person can keep unmoved by the opposites of praise and blame. - Meher Baba The strongest among you is the one who controls his anger. - Muhammad Slowly slowly O mind, Everything in own pace happens. Gardner may water a hundred buckets, but fruit arrives only in its season. - Kabeer May be you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots. - Rumi All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop. - Kabeer It is not so much that you are within the cosmos, as that the cosmos is within you. - Meher Baba Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside. - Ramana Maharshi When a man is, through his desires, confronted with great suffering, he understands their true nature; so when such suffering comes, it should be welcome. Suffering may come in order to eliminate further suffering. Suffering has to come, when it is of use in purging the soul from it s desires. - Meher Baba 13

18 Prayers, Release Possessions and power are sought for the fulfillment of desires. Man is only partially satisfied in his attempt to have the fulfillment of his desires. And this partial satisfaction fans and increases the flame of craving instead of extinguishing it. So greed always finds an endless field of conquest, and leaves the man endlessly dissatisfied. - Meher Baba One who abandons all desires and becomes free from longing and the feeling of I and my attains peace. - Krishna Forgiveness is the best charity. It is easy to give the poor money and goods when one has plenty, but to forgive is hard; but it is the best thing if one can do it. - Meher Baba Beware of jealousy, for verily it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood. - Muhammad Never be proud of yourself and never make fun of anybody. The boat of our life is still midst of sea, who knows what will happen in future. - Kabeer Anything beyond your capacity will necessarily change your capacity, because so long as everything is within your limits, you don t know what is beyond them. - Meher Baba No matter what a man does, whether his deeds serve virtue or vice, nothing lacks importance. All actions bear a kind of fruit. - Buddha Nothing inside me belongs to me, all is Yours. In returning that which belongs to You, what does it cost to me? - Kabeer When a thing disturbs the peace of your heart, give it up. - Muhammad For man, mind is the cause of bondage and mind is the cause of liberation. Mind absorbed in sense objects is the cause of bondage, and mind detached from the sense objects is the cause of liberation. - Krishna What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past. - Sai Baba Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. - Buddha That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true Knowledge, all else is only a negation of Knowledge. - Ramakrishna Paramahansa Let what comes come. Let what goes go. Find out what remains. - Ramana Maharshi Anger Corrupts one s Faith and one s religion. - Muhammad Love does not grown on trees or brought in the market, but if one wants to be Loved one must first know how to give unconditional Love. - Kabeer The most important is, the Lord is one, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this, you should love your neighbor as yourself. - Jesus Real happiness lies in making others happy. - Meher Baba That is real service where there is no thought of self at all. - Meher Baba All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter. - Sai Baba Nothing is heavier upon the scale of the deeds than ones good character. - Muhammad Finish the few duties you have at hand, and then you will have peace. - Ramakrishna Paramahansa Long for what is real. You will then have no time for worrying over what may never happen. - Meher Baba Desire for nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. Want nothing and you will have everything. - Meher Baba 14 Chapter 6. Teachings

19 Prayers, Release Darkness can not be dispelled by darkness, but by brightness. Hatred can not be overcome by hatred, but by loving kindness. - Buddha The greatest challenge is to battle you own soul, to fight the evil within yourself. - Muhammad The only real renunciation is that which abandons, in the midst of worldly duties, all selfish thoughts and desires. - Meher Baba Do not be angry with him who backbites you, but be pleased, for thereby he serves you by diminishing the load of your sanskaras; also pity him because he increases his own load of sanskaras. - Meher Baba But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do what is good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. - Jesus The greatest error of a man is to think that he is weak by nature, evil by nature. Every man is divine and strong in his real nature. What are weak and evil are his habits, his desires and thoughts, but not himself. - Ramana Maharshi Mental suffering is worse than physical suffering. Physical suffering sometimes comes as a blessing because it serves the purpose of easing mental suffering by weaning away man s attention from the mental suffering. - Meher Baba The Man who works for others, without any selfish motive, really does good to himself. - Ramakrishna Paramahansa Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render to the world. - Ramana Maharshi Who says God has created this world? We have created it by our own imagination. God is supreme, independent. When we say he has created this illusion, we lower him and his infinity. He is beyond all this.only when we find him in ourselves, and even in our day to day life, do all doubts vanish. - Meher Baba Every soul is eternally and inviolably one with the one undivided and indivisible universal Soul which is the sole reality. Yet false identification with the bodies or the ego-mind creates the illusion of manyness and of differentiation within the whole. - Meher Baba Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. - Jesus When divine vision is attained, all appear equal; and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low. - Ramakrishna Paramahansa True happiness begins when a man learns the art of right adjustment to other persons, and right adjustment involves self-forgetfulness and love. - Meher Baba If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you. - Ramakrishna Paramahansa Selfness for all brings about undisturbed harmony without loss of discrimination, and unshakable peace without indifference to the surroundings. - Meher Baba Things that are real are given and received in silence. - Meher Baba The cure for ignorance is to question. - Muhammad 15
