Meher Baba on Love
LOVE is essentially self-communicative: those who do not have it catch it from those who have it.... No amount of rites, rituals, ceremonies, worship, meditation, penance and remembrance can produce love in themselves. None of these is necessarily a sign of love. On the contrary, those who sigh loudly and weep and wail have yet to experience love. Love sets on fire the one who finds it. At the same time it seals his lips so that no smoke comes out.
There is nothing that love cannot achieve, and there is nothing that love cannot sacrifice.
Love can attain what the intellect cannot fathom.

I am so excited that you are here.
I live just a 20 minute walk away from the El Cerrito Center on Stockton.
I've made two trips there but have stood outside feeling really needy and have wanted to wait until I was not so grasping before going inside (also it was 'closed'for lack of a better word)
I've been inspired by Pete but it was at The Baba Center as a small child where I first heard about him so who came first :)
I know this will be some of the hardest work of my life. To realize through example of Meher Baba's life , that I don't have to live in conflict with the world or myself.
I'm not sure if the El Cerrito center was there in the 70's/80's but if it is indeed the same one than how nice.
So wonderful to find this blog,
Amanda
I was going ask if Pete knew about your site...guess that answers my question.
There are some amazing teachings in here.
...picked you up on Justin Kreutzmann's comment page.
I very much agree with this, thinking it on my own!
