SACRIFICE IS SWEET WHEN IT IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE

 
On the 18th of March, 1939, Mr. K, a great Congress Worker, visited Meher Baba and had a conversation with Him of general interest. When Mr. K. was introduced to Meher Baba, it was explained that he was an Indian civil servant and held responsible government posts, but gave it all up for service to the country through Congress. Meher Baba thereupon remarked with regard to the spirit of true sacrifice:

"Sacrifice is sweet when it is for a good cause."

Question: Is faith in God essential?

Answer: "That depends on how you interpret faith. Some who have faith and believe in God lead a life without character and fail to make any spiritual progress; while there are others who do not even believe in God but lead such a noble life that they automatically come closer to God."
