Meher Baba: ~ There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization.+

Meher Baba: ~ "There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization." 

Meher Baba: ~ When religion has become merely a matter of external rituals and ceremonies, it has become a cage for the Soul.

Meher Baba said: ~ God is your innermost Self. Do not search for God outside of you. Let these words be inscribed in your heart. Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God. God is everywhere and does everything. God is beyond us and is everything. God alone is and all else is an illusion. 

Meher Baba: ~ The scriptures are like rotten bones rotted and are as food for worms.  Theosophy and philosophy are like good bones rotted and are as food for vultures.

The writings of inspired poets are like fresh bones and are as food for dogs. 

The writings of spiritually advanced saints are like flesh and are as food for tigers.

The writings by living Perfect Masters are like the brain and are as food for men!

Good bones when rotted have some semblance of bone, but rotten bones when rotted are like filth.

 So, you may go through the scriptures superficially — only to drive away the barking dogs when necessary; for instance, when you are called upon to answer the queries of the priests and the Orthodox. (Lord Meher 15: 5267)

Meher Baba: ~ When the reality appears this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal. 

Meher Baba said: - To love God as he ought to be loved, we must live for God and die for God, knowing that the goal of life is to know God and find him as our own Self.

To realize God is to attain liberation from the bondage of illusion. 

Live only to find and realize your true identity with your Beloved God.

The energy which is expended in mere thinking, talking, or writing is like steam that escapes through the whistle of the railway engine …

That is why the sages have always insisted on practice rather than theory. This applies particularly to those who want to know and realize God.

Santthosh Kumaar ~ It means one has to know and realize his innermost Self is God and identify it as his true identity to find liberation from the bondage of the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world (duality).   The goal of our life is to find and realize our identity with our beloved God, which is the  Self.
