46. The Remembered and Forgotten One

-
I was Rama, I was Krishna, I was this One, I was that One, and
now I am Meher Baba. In this form of flesh and blood I am that
some Ancient One who alone is eternally worshipped and ignored,
ever remembered and forgotten.
* * *
I am that Ancient One whose past is worshipped and remembered,
whose present is ignored and forgotten and whose future (Advent)
is anticipated with great fervour and longing.

43. Toys in the Divine Game

-
The Infinite alone exists and is Real; the finite is passing and false. The Original Whim in the Beyond caused the apparent descent of the Infinite into the realm of the seeming finite. This is the Divine Mystery and Divine Game in which Infinite Consciousness for ever plays on all levels of finite consciousness. I am Infinite Consciousness, inter-penetrating and transcending all states of limited consciousness. The most primal and the most final categories of consciousness—say a stone or a saint - are equidistant from me, so I am equally approachable by all. I am the Way. Unwavering loyalty to the Way is the real remedy for the sickness of impressioned consciousness. Some of my lovers, owing to fluctuating faith, fail to understand this and run hither and thither for Freedom. For me it then becomes a matter of retrieving them, and others wonder why I give so much attention to these people. A child has many toys, and it likes to play with some more than with others, and one is so dear ...

42. A Nod of My Head

The word 'qutub' literally means 'pivot' or 'axis'. Thus the Qutub (Perfect Master) is the Axis around which everything in Creation revolves; and He being the CENTRE of everything, everything on every plane is equidistant from Him. All action from you, as individuals or isolated points of consciousness stationed on different planes, is limited in expression and result. As the Centre, each movement of mine is unlimited in its action and reaction, expression and result. For instance, a nod of your head in reply to different questions can indicate different actions and moods such as I am happy, I am miserable, I have eaten, I have rested, etc. But each nod expresses and conveys only one thing at a time. Whereas, as the Centre, one nod-of-my-head gives rise to a wave of innumerable actions and reactions simultaneously on all planes of consciousness.

44. God Alone Is

-
Infinite consciousness is infinite. It can never lessen at any point in time or space. Infinite consciousness being infinite includes every aspect of consciousness. Unconsciousness is one of the aspects of infinite consciousness. Thus infinite consciousness includes unconsciousness. It sustains, covers, pierces through and provides an end to unconsciousness—which flows from, and is consumed by, infinite consciousness. I assert unequivocally that I am infinite consciousness; and I can make this assertion because I am infinite consciousness. I am everything and I am beyond everything. I am ever conscious that I am you, while you are never conscious that I am in you. Daily I support you and share your consciousness. Now I want you to uphold me, so that one day you can share my consciousness. For man, unconscious of actually possessing the never-ending continuously conscious experience that God is everything and all else is nothing, everything is everything. Air is. Water is. Fire is. Eart...
