UTTERLY LOGICAL AND COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS

 
I had read the life stories of other Masters, and yet what I was discovering here, in Baba, seemed more dynamic, intimate, and all-encompassing than anything I had previously read or heard. It was only natural that this prompted in me an even greater desire to read and hear more and more about Baba's divinely human and humanly divine life.

In the 40's, there were biographies of Baba in both Marathi and English. I also eagerly devoured the copies of Meher Baba Journal which were available, each of which contained an enlightening discourse given by Meher Baba on a profound spiritual subject. A year or two later, Baba's discourses were collected and published in five volumes.

Although I had some familiarity with spiritual literature, I had never come across such utterly logical and compelling explanations on so many different subjects, such as reincarnation and karma, sanskaras, Maya, meditation, the formation of the ego — nor had any other books ever explained in such detail the subtle distinctions between the different states of those on the spiritual Path and of those who were God-Realized.
