Meher Baba Art Quotations

It's a divine art to be cheerful.

I am also a painter. I paint the hearts of people with colors of spirituality.

All religions are equal to me. And all castes and creeds are dear to me. But though I appreciate all `isms,' religions and political parties for the many good things they seek to achieve, I do not and cannot belong to any of these `isms,' religions or political parties, for the Absolute Truth, while equally including them, transcends all of them and leaves no room for separative divisions which are all equally false.

Divine love makes us true to ourselves and to others... Divine love is the solution to our difficulties and problems. It frees us from every kind of binding.

The book that I shall make people read is the book of the heart, which holds the key to the mystery of life
