TO WRITE ABOUT IT OR EXPLAIN IT

Darwin C. Shaw

 
Although Meher Baba came to me in the Spirit in 1932, I could not have anticipated the indescribable wonder of meeting him face to face in 1934: the unutterable sweetness and unearthly spiritual fulfillment of his Divine Love. Very few of those who have had this experience have attempted to write about it or explain it, because doing so would almost necessitate a whole new vocabulary!

We are used to relating our experiences in terms of clearly defined beginnings and endings, and this is probably adequate for most chronicles. However, I have found that my experiences with Meher Baba have a timeless quality about them. It is my hope that, despite the limitations inherent in the words I have used to construct this story of my life with Meher Baba, what emerges is the exquisite eternal luminosity of Love's encounter.
