We Are One #1 | Meher Baba | In conversation with Cyrus M. Khambata, disciple of Meher Baba

Meher Baba was born into a Zoroastrian family of Persian descent. He was educated in Pune and attended Deccan College there, where at the age of 19 he met an aged Muslim woman, Hazrat Babajan, the first of five “Perfect Masters” (spiritually enlightened or “God-realized” persons). Meher Baba said that he was the Avatar of the Age - interpreting that term to mean the periodic incarnation of God in human form.
“I am the same Ancient One come again into your midst,” he told his disciples, declaring that all major religions are revelations of “the One Reality which is God.”
Meher Baba’s cosmology may be summarized as follows: the goal of all life is to realize the absolute oneness of God.
His Tomb-Shrine is inscribed with his mission statement - “I have come not to Teach, but to Awaken.”
A visit to Meherabad in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India can precipitate inner transmutation and turn the page of one’s life, if only one approaches with an open heart. And miracles do happen.
While Meher Baba dictated several works during his physical ministry, such as ‘God Speaks’, ‘Beams from Meher Baba on the Spiritual Panorama’, ‘Discourses’, ‘Life at Its Best’, ‘The Everything and the Nothing’, ‘The Path of Love’, ‘Sparks from Meher Baba’ and few more, Meher Baba never sought to form a sect or proclaim a dogma. He attracted and welcomed followers of many faiths and every social class with a message emphasizing love and service, the elimination of the selfish ego, and the potential of realizing God within themselves.
