BECOME FREE IN THIS VERY LIFE

Meher Baba

 
In the material world, every pie [cent] of money counts. In the subtle world, every ounce of energy counts. In the mental world, every force of thought counts. In the Beyond state, only God counts, and in the realm of the God-Man, everything counts as nothing and nothing counts as everything.

God does not listen to the language of the tongue which consists of jap, zikr and mantras. He does not listen to the language of the mind which consists of thoughts about God through meditation and concentration. He listens only to the language of the heart which is Love.

So love God and become free in this very life. This love can be expressed in various way, ultimately resulting in Union with God. The practical way for the common man to express this love, while attending to every-day life's duties, is to speak lovingly, think lovingly and act lovingly toward all mankind, irrespective of caste, creed and position, taking God to be present in each and everyone.
