THE QUESTION AND ITS ANSWERMeher Baba Out of the depths of unbroken Infinity arose the Question, Who am I? and to that Question there is only one Answer I am God! God is Infinite; and His shadow, too, is infinite. Reality is Infinite in its Oneness; Illusion is infinite in its manyness. The one Question arising from the Oneness of the Infinite wanders through an infinite maze of answers which are distorted echoes of Itself resounding from the hollow forms of infinite nothingness. There is only one Original Question and one Original Answer to it. Between the Original Question and the Original Answer there are innumerable false answers. These false answers such as, I am stone, I am bird, I am animal, I am man, I am woman, I am great, I am small are, in turn, received, tested and discarded until the Question arrives at the right and Final Answer, I AM GOD.
