IN WHOM YOU HAVE SOUND FAITH

Meher Baba

 
On the day of Jarthoshtno-diso many Parsees reverently pray, "May the soul of Zoroaster rest in peace." Surely these Parsees are utterly ignorant of the spiritual position of their Prophet or are impudent to the last degree. No greater insult can be hurled at Yazdan Zoroaster than by offering such a prayer.

You will not be saved by accepting any theological dogmas or by regarding a Prophet who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago as the only God-incarnate, as the only genuine Saviour, as the last real messenger of God. If you want to be saved, conquer your mind, lead a pure life, renounce low desires, and follow One who has realized God and in whom you have sound faith.

Most of the so-called religious ceremonies performed by the Parsees, the Hindus, and followers of other creeds are unnecessary and worthless. For these useless ceremonies it is the avaricious and worldly priests who are responsible. Prophets, Sadgurus, and Saints are not bound by them.
