ESTABLISHING OUR LINK WITH HIM

 
As Baba has said, "I do not change your destiny, but the one thing I do give you is inner strength, and by that inner strength you can fight the battle of life." He will not remove our difficulties. He wants us to fight our difficulties and He will give us the strength, like Arjuna, to fight our enemies. He wants us to become warriors in our lives — not to turn our faces away from life, not to do sannyas or go into seclusion.

We must each face our life in a very positive way. Baba is behind us. We can derive all the benefits from Him, provided we fulfill the condition of establishing our link with Him by virtue of unselfish, pure, unadulterated love. Meher Baba, the personification of God, is not attracted by anything; not our talents, our money, our beauty or even, I would say, our service, unless of course, that service is most unselfishly born out of pure love. Meher Baba is only attracted by our pure love and nothing else.
