If those who love Me will just for one minute, as now, be silent in their minds just before they go to bed and think of Me and picture Me in the silence of their minds, and do that regularly, then this veil of ignorance that they have will disappear and this bliss that I speak of and which all long for, they shall experience.

When in my sahavas (company) be attentive and receptive to what I may say, but do not question.
Universe Full Of Bliss

Meher Baba's Last Moments In America
The circumstances of this American Sahavas were unique. Our Beloved, out of love for us, had journeyed all the way from India, while enduring an ever-deepening suffering for mankind, to give us the incomparable blessing of his companionship, and to allow us to share his suffering in a small way.
The Beginning Of "The East-West Gathering"
All this talk about a big meeting in India aroused a great deal of interest and excitement among the group — and especially so when Baba turned his attention to the matter of inviting members of the Western group.

He had covered the Shape of suffering with a veil of radiance so that his lovers would have gladness to take away with them.

The great dilemma was how to satisfy the needs of the camera for sunlight, and Baba's need for shade.
I Will Make This Clear As Never Before
In the meeting, I will make this clear as never before, and any of you who are strong enough to carry out that message will do My work.
A Big Stack Of Hay
Although it takes a lot of time to build a big stack of hay, a single lighted match can burn all of it in no time at all.

Do not expect that by coming here your difficulties will be solved.

He who approaches me with a heart full of love has my sahavas.
With His Name On Their Lips
Those attending the sahavas were drowned in Baba's Ocean of Love, and after the arti, Baba asked all to go for lunch.
I Have Come For Love
Forget all your homes and be with Baba. Forget your worries and difficulties. Be quite at home and at ease here. Enjoy the company of Baba.
Amidst Their Tears Of Joy
Instead of taking the usual road, Baba insisted to everyone's surprise on taking a little used path in almost the opposite direction.
Baba Acknowledged Their Love
For the first time in the history of Meherabad a train arrived and halted there.
Whoever Loves God Becomes God
From the Beginning of all Beginnings I have been saying, I say it now, and to the End of Ends I will say it, that he who loves God becomes God.
The Company Of God, 1955
For Baba, to constantly give darshan, to meet people, to give his sahavas was an exhausting task, because with the shower of his love, he was taking upon himself the good and bad sanskaras of those who came in his contact.
Sit Within The Privacy Of Its Shrouds
It was mid-afternoon, and the strains of songs from the great Sufi mystics floated from the dormitory atop the old military reservoir.
Meher Baba's Last Sahavas
The sudden news was like a strong blow that literally stunned all.
