Good evening friends. Perceptions. Understand how important the prior session was for all those who attended. Each one was handpicked for this particular session though most don’t know it. Each one during the course of this week must examine one major issue. From within themselves where your perception is arise. We would briefly touch on this subject by holding before you two earth examples. You are all familiar with the one you call Hitler and the one you call the Gandhi.

In your perception, the Hitler is all negative and the Gandhi is all positive. Yet how many of you have ever bothered to look at the flip sides of both these individuals?

The Hitler had utter and total commitment in his perception to his people. No leader you have ever had in earthly terms since the Hitler has had fervent well being of his people in mind as did this one. He also created what you term jobs and employment and changed the economy of his nation greatly. Altruistically with no self centered motive other than to help his people. Great attributes indeed. But you cannot see them. Conversely the one you call the Gandhi, apart from failing in all personal relationships used his fervency to influence all the minds around him without giving them the opportunity to think or decide for themselves. He bent others to his will fixedly without committing any option or public vote. Does this now make the Gandhi all black and Hitler all white. No, that is not the purpose of this discussion. It means examining the black dots on the white paper of each and everyone. Do not be so quick on the draw to make general decisions. Yes, what the Hitler did in the great scheme of things was in your earthly terms unpardonable. But do you not realize the great lesson, the great lesson that he brought each and every one. Why did humanity take so long to stop him? Why did humanity not learn their lesson earlier? That means that the entire world was pardoning and condoning what he was doing.

Are you any less responsible?

You may argue. I was not in a position of power. I did not have the means to stop him. No, as individuals the world did not have the means to stop him. But what about the power of the collective? What about the power of the nations? Eventually he was stopped. But the death and destruction he caused could have been stopped, could have been nipped in the bud. Had humanity learnt their lessons earlier? It is so easy to pass the blame, is it not? So understand friends, when you examine any individual from your perception the good may outweigh the bad or the bad the good. But you must be able to examine them in all their aspects. You are now at a level where anything less is not acceptable. Not to us but to yourselves.

Why go to the Hitler and the Gandhi? Why not start with your own families? Quick judgments , quick judgments.

Perceptions, perceptions. For most of humanity we don’t exist. Is that not a perception? For others who condescendingly do acknowledge the angelic realm, we are these little fluttery insignificant creatures and for many others we are a threat. They perceive us as these fearsome, elusive little elves who reek havoc and destruction. Perceptions.

Me badao kehe ke u bhi nathi.

Badao kehe ke I am a joker and I am just a fool.

Am I going to stop their perceptions? …She at least believes in me.

How many times have I told you all put your problems in my jhola. But from your won perceptions either your problems are too insignificant or I am too big a man to handle these problems when I have earth shattering things to deal with. Or I am not going to do anything with them in any case so I why give it to him.

To Zafar: Tell your friend the third time I am asking for her problems. This is the last time I will ask.

To Nandinie: What do you have to say for yourself?

I like big girls not little ones like this.

To Nargis: I am with you more than you know. Draw upon my energies. My blessings are with you and everyone of your family members. Including the one who is not with you. No, not the one who has moved on just now. But the one you have not known in this life time. Why don’t you link and find out? There has been one child who will never been with you in this lifetime but has been with you in the past. Those energies are always with you. Another one. And you don’t have to go through the trouble of giving birth and paying for schooling . Link you will find the answer.

To …... Be patient, things will work out to your satisfaction.

To -----------: So much enthusiasm I like it.

To Aruna: That one in the back hides from me always.

I think of you all the time.

Teacher is calling naughty student.

……..

All will be well.

Jani jani bas.

Zafar: What was the purpose of more than 3 decades of silence you undertook? -----

MeherBaba: It was a very difficult time in my existence. The madness that came upon me was several fold. Much had to do with cleansing of past. Problems, misconceptions and many things I was not proud of. I made more mistakes than all of you put together. And I had to go through that experience to learn. But I was a very stubborn man and I refused to acknowledge that I could be at fault. So the process had to continue till I could see the light. I understand now that I had to go through that to be so understanding of others pain, of others problems. I don’t love the good one as much as I love the ones who make more and more mistakes. Because I fully understand how you resist your own self. You are truly your own worst enemy. It was also a process of inner cleansing of growth, of development and of spiritual understanding. I lived through a nightmare and that made me stronger. I never consider myself a master even though I am one through definition. I consider myself one who understands the weakness the pain the sorrow, the suffering and the misguidedness of human life. If anybody here erred, I erred 10 times eps. So how can I be above anyone. My disciples often choose to call me God. Who am I to disabuse them of any term? They can call me God or they can call me an untouchable. It matters not to me. But when they call me God they are acknowledging the God within themselves and that is what I appreciate. When they call me an untouchable or a fake or a fraud , they are only looking and getting in touch at that aspect within themselves, that they are not comfortable with and once again I rejoice because they are now on the path.

Give me your pain. Give me your troubles. I know them better than you know yourselves.

To Syrus: Take good care of that one. I place her in your keeping.

To Piloo: Torment him as much as possible. He is in your keeping.

(Meher Baba blessed all.)
