DECISION
regarding the
Final Declaration
Meher Baba
This universe has come out of God. God has not come out of the universe.
Illusion has come out of Reality. Reality has not come out of illusion.
God alone is Real; the universe by itself is illusion.
God's Life lived in illusion, as the Avatar and as Perfect Masters,
is not illusory, whereas God's Life lived in creation, as all animate and
inanimate beings, is both real and illusory. Illusion, illusory life and
God's Life in illusion are not and cannot be one and the same. Illusion has
no life and can have no life. Illusion is illusion, and is nothing by itself.
Illusory life means life in illusion, and though it is life, as experienced
by the Soul in creation, it is illusory life. But God's Life lived in
illusion is not illusory because, in spite of living the illusory life,
God remains conscious of His own Reality.
God is absolutely independent, and the universe is entirely dependent upon
God. Yet when the Perfect Masters effect the "descent" of God on earth as
the Avatar, they make Reality and illusion interdependent, each upon the
other. And thus it is that His Infinite Mercy and Unbounded Love are
eternally drawn upon by those who are immersed in illusion.
Between God and the universe, Infinite Mercy and Unbounded Love act as a
prominent link which is eternally made use of by men who become God
(Sadgurus, Perfect Masters or Qutubs), and by God Who becomes Man
(Avatar, the Christ, the Rasool); so the universe becomes the eternal
playmate of God. Through this prominent link, the Avatar not only
established life in his Divine Play, but also established Law in illusion.
And this Law being established by the God-Man or Avatar is the Law of the
lawless Infinite, and it is eternally real and at the same time illusory.
It is this Law that governs the universe; all its ups and downs, construction
and devastation are guided by this Law.
At this cyclic period, God's independent Absoluteness is made to work upon
this Law by the God-Man as God's Will. This means that anything and everything
that the Avatar wills is ordained by God. Consequently, all that I stated in
the Final Declaration and Confirmation is ordained by God, and must and
will happen.
I was in Khuldabad for nearly a week from the 22nd of March. There, night and
day, I did my work most intensively. The intensity of my spiritual work
caused great pressure on my physical body and mind, and it was there that
I decided that all that I had declared in my Final Declaration must come
to pass exactly in the same sequence and with the same intensity of effect,
but with modification in the time factor. Therefore, with change in the
time limit, the intensity, scope, shape and size of the chain of events
will take place without any moderation whatsoever, to bring into effect
the destined plan.
In the meantime, mankind must await, as it must according to my Final Decision,
the witnessing of all that is to come to pass as ordained by God. This is the
time when man must love God more and more. Let him live for God and let him
die for God. In all his thoughts, in all his words and in all his actions,
love for God alone must prevail.
