ONLY LOVE COUNTS

Meher Baba

 
Shastri: Has not the God-realized One an ego?

Baba: He has. But the ego of the God-realized is altogether different.

When you say, "I am so and so," it is the false ego asserting the false self.

When you become "God-merged" (a perfect Majzoob or Brahmibhoot), you have no mind and you are conscious only of being God. This is the state of Super-consciousness. But when, retaining that state, you come down to normal consciousness, you have "ego," and it is the Real Ego.

If you read God Speaks you will know the details about the different stages and states of consciousness. Also, you must bear in mind that mere intellectual understanding has very little value by itself. Whether one understands the details of the Path or not, it is just the same. Only Love counts.

To learn God is to unlearn yourself. It is a rare privilege to meet a Sadguru and still more rare to love Him as God-in-human-form.

It is well said, "One who has the knowledge of God is not known to others." God alone exists.
