Marking the 63rd Anniversary of the East-West Gathering, November 1-4, 1962

Today, at numerous levels of society, there is a pervasive and unapologetic attitude among many about their selfish behavior that in the past would have resulted in remorse and the sting of conscience. There is an illusion of freedom in not having to be hindered and slowed down by remorse and conscience in their effort to climb up in society and wield authority. But in overriding remorse and conscience, which are qualities of the h...

Dear folks of Baba,

"Dear friend, your heart is a polished mirror. You must wipe it clean of the veil of dust that has gathered upon it, because it is destined to reflect the light of divine secrets."

-- al-Ghazzali, a Sufi mystic

In the last two sessions we talked first about becoming aware of the heart center and then offering to Baba its content of emotions, desires and impulses that clutter the ...

We have some informal chat after every arti, the "post-arti party"! But once a week, Jeff Wolverton joins us for some serious mining of the spiritual depths. Join us for conversation, more readings, songs, quotes - you never know what treasures will be uncovered!

Dear folks of Baba,

Around 1970, a buddy of mine and I were visiting a college mate of ours in upstate New York, and in looking at a map of the area, we dis...

Dear folks of Baba,

In the first part of this chapter, “Giving Our All,” Darwin talks about the stages of becoming awareof our heart center, and the second part is about giving its content of desires, emotions and deeper feelings to Baba. Our massive load of impressions (sanskaras) that we have accumulated over eons of time are the byproduct of our journey to develop full consciousness. These impressions, as necessary as th...

Dear folks of Baba,

In this next chapter, Darwin says that Baba “is more interested in our progress than we are.” That is, He’s not waiting for us to make our way to Him on our time but rather than on His time, which is completely different. He is, you might say, courting us to draw closer to Him and is working tirelessly with each of us, even though we may only be aware of an infinitely small fraction of His efforts. ...

How the Master Works - Sharing Our Treasure of Stories and Anecdotes

Brothers and Sisters in Baba,

Some years back, Craig Ruff came to the SF/Bay Area. During his sharing with those of us who attended a meeting, he related an anecdote in which he related an incident where he asked Eruch Jessawala, “What will be the next phase,” meaning what will follow the phases of 1) having Baba with us in His physical form, followed by 2) ...

Dear folks of Baba,

In this chapter, Darwin introduces the metaphor of an inner barometer for reading our internal weather. Is the sun coming out or are we heading toward a cloudy day? As our awareness turns away from being primarily focused on the outer world toward the heart center within, we begin to see the ever-changing dynamic of emotions, desires and the deeper feelings. We begin to observe more of what is clouding...

The Topic: “We Are Meant to Flow”

Dear folks of Baba,

“We are meant to flow”—these are the words that we heard Darwin Shaw repeat many times when he...

The topic: Grace, What Is It?

Dear folks of Baba,

In his book, Effort and Grace, Darwin Shaw refers again and again to the importance and presence of Baba’s grace in our awakening to Divine Love. Several of you have expressed the wish to explore more in depth what he means by grace. Here is my own winding journey in trying to describe it:

In the 1970s, I had been working inwardly for years in trying to m...

Ward Parks on “Meher Baba’s Words: Evaluating Attributions to the Silent Avatar"

"Creation and its Causes," like "Infinite Intelligence," "Tiffin Lectures," and other books have been published with Meher Baba identified as author. This is following Trust policy, which is based in large part on a crucial clause in Meher Baba's "Last Will and Testament." But it brings into focus many important questions as to what we mean when we ...
