GOD'S GREATEST GIFTMeher Baba God has come again and again in various Forms, has spoken again and again in different words and different languages the Same one Truth — but how many are there that live up to it? Instead of making Truth the vital breath of his life, man compromises by making over and over again a mechanical religion of it — as a handy staff to lean on in times of adversity, as a soothing balm for his conscience or as a tradition to be followed in the footsteps of the past. Man's inability to live God's words, makes them a mockery. How many Christians follow Christ's teaching to "turn the other cheek" or "to love thy neighbour as thyself?" How many Muslims follow Mohammed's precept to 'hold God above everything else'? How many Hindus 'bear the torch of righteousness at all cost'? How many Buddhists live the 'life of pure compassion' expounded by Buddha? How many Zoroastrians 'think truly, speak truly, act truly'? God's Truth cannot be ignored; and thus by mankind's ignorance and weakness a tremendous adverse reaction is produced — and the world finds itself in a cauldron of suffering through wars, hate, conflicting ideologies, and nature's rebellion in the form of floods, famines, earthquakes, and other disasters. Ultimately when the apex is reached, God manifests anew in human form to guide mankind to the destruction of its self-created evil, that it may be re-established in the Divine Truth. My Silence and the imminent breaking of my Silence is to save mankind from the monumental forces of ignorance, and to fulfill the divine Plan of universal unity. The breaking of My Silence will reveal to man the universal oneness of God, which will bring about the universal brotherhood of man. My Silence had to be. The breaking of my Silence has to be — soon.
