THE REAL AND THE FALSEMeher Baba Spiritual science based on love alone is beyond mental understanding. It is full of apparent contradictions which love alone can face and overcome. Whereas material science enhances the ego-life, spiritual science annihilates it, and leads into the 'I-am-God' state of becoming God. In fact, the end of all human questioning is God — the core of existence and the one and only Reality. In the glow of a new-born love or in the warmth of newly caught enthusiasm one must also try to acquire other qualities. Hope should be fortified by courage, which can accept failure with equanimity; enthusiasm should be harnessed by the wisdom which knows how to wait for the fruit with patience. Idealistic dreams about the future should be counter-balanced by a sense of the realities of the present; and the glow of love should allow itself to be illumined by the free and unhampered play of reason.
