Talk:Meher Baba

An Enigma?

Those who believe will not agree with me, and neither will those who do not believe.

Meher Baba to me is an enigma. I love him, sometimes I am angry with him, sometimes I feel he did not know what he was doing or saying, or says absurd things, and then again I feel he has made some of the most helpful statments I have ever read.

He has said that the inquirer has the right to test the Master, and also that the disciple should be honest about his feelings about the Master. In one place he said that if you feel Meher Baba is the devil, you should say he is the devil.

When I take my thoughts away from statements of his own or of others about his own status (was he God? the Avatar? or who? or what?) and just focus on what he said about the spiritual life, I am better off.

His two prayers, the Prayer of Repentance and the Universal Prayer, are two of the best prayers I have ever used, based upon their results for me. I do recommend them: "Meher Baba Universal Prayer" should get you to them from Google.

Chronology

• I will probably attempt to date the existing quotes and arrange them chronologically as is standard on wikiquote pages sometime this week. ~ Gardener 22:30, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Quote on Avatarhood

For reasons I don't understand, User:86.177.181.49 keeps removing what appears to be a very valuable and clarifying quote by Meher Baba about his claim to avatarhood. I have put it back. Clearly 86.177.181.49 is not acting with consensus, as he has reverted more than three times. Before putting back, please discuss and consider consensus that clearly appears to be on the side of keeping the quote in the page. Dazedbythebell 18:04, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I too have restored this quote several times. It was just removed earlier today with the comment "I have a right to remove what I put there in the first place, nobody else put it there." I replaced it with the comment "restore a quote — everyone here has the right to preserve presentations of sourced and interesting quotes no matter who originally added the material." This user doesn't seem to understand no person "owns" this page or this project and everyone can and should see to it that interesting quotes are presented on the pages available. Though the page needs some work to organize it in standard chronological fashion the consensus does indeed seem to be that the particular quote is an interesting one which should be on the page. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 20:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

The persistent deletion of this sourced quotes to this page has begun to amount to vandalism, no matter who first added the material. I have again restored the quote and a bit more material which was removed. I will try to properly format this page and remove the cleanup tag within the next few days, but might be too busy to do so today. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 11:47, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Nice New Cleanup

Nice work on the new face of the page Kalki. Beautiful! Darwin394 16:08, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm glad I finally had time to get around to doing some work on it, as it had needed it for some time, and was quite pleased with what I was able to do. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 18:17, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
