PLEASE HIM WHOM TO PLEASE IS TO KNOW

Meher Baba

 
When you feel this urge to express yourself on paper, never check it. As you try to put these thoughts down they will become clearer and give you a deep understanding. Much that is within is often in such a chaotic state that to separate one idea from another is not easy.

I know you better than you know yourself and I will teach you in My own way all the things concerning your Real Self. Seek and strive to know Me — your Beloved — and bit by bit you will know your Real Self,  for am I not your real self.

Realize Me and you will know God. No other pursuit is worthwhile when you have met the beloved. Everything then centers around Him. You see all beauty through Him be it expressed through poetry, art, or music, or through life itself. All work whether of your hands or academic is done for Him and your only attachment is your Beloved. All service then becomes selfless whether done for friend, family, or stranger. All are one and toward this "One" the motive too is one — to please Him,  whom to please is to know. There is no other knowing. Feeling is not knowing.

To please Me is to do, but doing what? That which your beloved commands you. This is My way, My path. "My yoke is easy and My burden is light." My way with you all is the shortest way to Union which I long for infinitely more than you can ever long. Although the game is of My own making, still I must suffer to enjoy the game of realizing Myself consciously in all creation.
