IF A PERSON HOLDS AN UMBRELLA OVER HIS HEAD

Meher Baba

 
One day, gazing out at the ocean, Baba said to those present:

I am like the ocean you see before you — always ready to receive anything, good and bad. All your thoughts, feelings, all and everything, lay them at my feet and be free!

I am like the sunshine, which falls evenly on all objects. But if a person holds an umbrella over his head, he does not benefit from the sun's rays. The umbrella prevents you from receiving rays of light from the Guru. You have to close this ... umbrella in order to receive the light from the Master. Only then will you tangibly acquire the light.

To do this, only think of me and keep me in your thoughts. The umbrella sanskaras (storehouse of mental tendencies and desires) will be gradually closed as a result of my nazar — sight.
