IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE

Adi K. Irani

 
Question: Now that Avatar Meher Baba has dropped His body, wouldn't it be proper to worship the impersonal aspect of God who is worshipped by the world?

ADI: One can worship any god. There are as many gods as a human mind can sketch out in its imagination, but the response would be anything but direct. During His lifetime, Baba explained that all the prayers that are offered to God on high eventually go to the Avatar, the other aspect of God who activates God's response by His own being. It is more effective, therefore, to offer prayers directly to the Avatar. Whether the Avatar is in a human body or without it, it makes no difference in the response one hopes to get from the compassion of the Avatar. The Avatar always maintains His universal ego.
