Symbols of the world's religions

Though the eye is small, the soul which sees through it is greater and vaster than all the things which it perceives. In fact, it is so great that it includes all objects, however large or numerous, within itself. For it is not so much that you are within the cosmos as that the cosmos is within you.

REAL KNOWLEDGE


 
Transcending The Limitations Of Understanding
May you succeed in transcending the limitations of understanding and crossing into the domain of Real Knowledge.
Its Own Justification For Being
This is the unchallengeable Truth.
Knowledge And Imagination
For imagination to go, mind must go; and for knowledge to come, consciousness must remain.
One Then Actually Lives The Free Life Of God
Divine Swayambhu-Knowledge is Divine Knowledge of Power, Beauty and Bliss.
Try To Understand What Cannot Be Understood
In sound sleep, what do you experience? Nothing. That is you. Why?
You Yourselves Are The Way
As long as you remain separated from God and try to understand Him, He cannot be understood.
Without The Aid Of Any Description
Trying to express in words the essence of baba's philosophy of life and work is, I find, impossible.
Spiritual Paradox
In experience, what exists for us does not really exist; and what does not exist for us, really exists.
The Seven Folds Of The Veil
The veil that separates a man-in-ignorance from God Who is All Knowledge, is so subtle that even the highest and finest thought cannot pierce through it.
Understanding Of The One Infinite God
I give my love and blessings to one and all for the understanding of the One Infinite God residing equally within us and besides Whom everything else is false and illusory.
There Is Nothing To Gain Or Lose
One who can withstand both success and failure with equanimity is nearing a truer appreciation of both; and for one who goes beyond the extremes or opposites, the question of withstanding either does not arise.
Mind And Heart Working Together
Mind and heart working together is a beautifully flowing river, lovely to behold.
Vastness Of The Soul
It is not so much that you are within the cosmos as that the cosmos is within you.
Love God As He Ought To Be Loved
When in a flash real knowledge comes, we are not what we seem, but are that infinite one.
Do You Follow What Baba Is Saying?
I who am intellectually convinced and also have heart, I can see God and I can make others also see God.
The Established Divine Facts
The divinely Perfect Ones can bestow this Knowledge on any one they like and whenever they like.
The Answer Must Come From Within Your Own Self
Unless you question, you can never learn.
Admit Complete Bafflement
The greatest scientists themselves are becoming dismayed at the areas of knowledge still beyond them and appalled at what their discoveries may unleash.
Knower, Known And Knowledge Are All One
Any existence in which power is limited, knowledge imperfect or joy beclouded, is a product of false imagination and cannot satisfy the earnest seeker after God.
To Your Advantage
While conversing with his close disciples, Baba suddenly asked one of them, "What are you thinking?"
Kinds of Knowledge
One day in 1959, Meher Baba said to me, "There are two kinds of knowledge; knowledge gained through intelligence (using the mind) and hidden knowledge (not using the mind)."
Knowledge Through Experience
It is one thing merely to see the picture of a cow; quite a different thing to have a real cow and to drink its milk.
