The Unity Of All Life
This message was read out in Baba's presence at Nagpur University on
14th November 1944:
 In the undivided and indivisible Ocean of Life you have, through ignorance, created the pernicious divisions based on sex, race, nationality, religion or community; and you allow these self-created divisions to poison your heart and pervert your relationships. You are already part of one life and as such, brotherhood is not something which is to be brought into existence, but is the supreme Fact which claims your recognition and whole-hearted allegiance as soon as you have the candidness and the courage to face the Truth.
Slowly but surely must you imbibe this hard-won Truth at the feet of the Masters of wisdom; slowly but surely must you shed prejudices and get disentangled from the superficial distinctions created by identification with forms and names; slowly but surely must you tread the path to the Formless and the Nameless One.
When you enthrone the Nameless One in your mind-heart you do not necessarily put to an end the game of duality. You have to play your divine role in the drama of creation without being caught up in the duality. Restoration of unity does not imply the stamping out of all differences. In the world of forms there will always be room for a rich diversity of expression; but when you understand the Truth illimitable, this diversity shall in no way be allowed to create a note of discord in the symphony of creation, but will be taken up in that creative harmony which reflects the ageless and the infinite spirit.
Out of this understanding there shall spontaneously emerge the spirit of tolerance, which is different from apathy; of active appreciation, which is different from the entanglement of attachment. The Unity of Life has to be experienced and expressed in the very midst of diverse experience.
Now is the time to cast off the veil of imagined duality and unreservedly surrender to the life of open and undisguised love, which is pure and selfless, and which knows no fear and needs no apology. All life is One and all divisions are imaginary.
Be ye established in this eternal Truth, which I bring. - Meher Baba
This is a theme which Baba returned to again and again and I always
find it very moving. It seems to sum up the causes of all the problems
in the world, and the solution. It also reminds me of The New
Humanity, the first of the Discourses, another favourite. TM
Meher Baba's Last Message Using His Alphabet Board
On 10th July 1925 Meher Baba began His silence, remaining silent for almost 44 years until His passing in 1969. He began communicating using an alphabet board, pointing to the letters and numbers to spell out His messages. Towards the end of 1954
Baba abandoned the alphabet board and started using a system of gestures, interpreted and spoken out by one of His mandali.
On 7th October 1954 Meher Baba gave this, His last message on the alphabet board.
 There is no reason at all for any of you to worry. Baba was, Baba is and Baba will also be eternally existent. Severance of external relations does not mean the termination of internal links. It was only for establishing the internal connection that external contacts had been maintained until now. The time has now come for being bound in the chain of internal connections. Hence, external contact is no longer necessary. It is possible to establish the internal link by obeying Baba's orders. I give you all my blessings for strengthening these internal links.
I am always with you and I am not away from you. I was, am and will remain eternally with you, and it is for promoting this realization that I have severed external contact. This will enable all persons to realize Truth by being bound to each other with internal links.
O my lovers, I love you all! It is only because of my love for my creation that I have descended on Earth. Let not your hearts be torn asunder by my declarations concerning the dropping of my body. On the contrary, accept my Divine Will cheerfully. You can never escape from me. Even if you try to escape from me, it is not possible to get rid of me. Therefore, have courage and be brave.
If you thus lose your hearts, how will it be possible for you to fulfill the great task which I have entrusted to you? Be brave and spread my message of love far and wide to all quarters, in order to fulfill my Divine Will. Let the words, Baba, Baba, Baba,come forth from the mouth of every child, and let their ignorance be reduced to ashes by the burning flame of my love.
Come together in order to fulfill my will by taking your stand on Truth, Love and Honesty, and be worthy of participating in my task.
I give you all my blessings for spreading my message of love. - MEHER BABA
Meher Baba's Flag
The use of rainbow flags has a long tradition. They are displayed in many cultures around the world, using the colours in a variety of sequences as a sign of diversity and inclusiveness, of hope and of yearning.
Meher Baba's flag, with its unique colour sequence, has a very specific spiritual symbolism...
... Baba remarked,
"Do you know why I suggested a seven coloured flag? The seven colours represent the seven planes of consciousness ... these colours also represent sanskaras – impressions. The colours in the flag signify man's rise from the grossest of impressions of lust and anger – symbolised by red – to the culmination in the highest state of spirituality and oneness with God – symbolised by sky blue."
Lord Meher, Vol 2, Page 618
The flag is flown near to Meher Baba's Tomb Shrine in Meherabad during the week of Amartithi.
