From ‘Listening to the Silence. True stories of a healing love from the spiritual realms’ by Nan Umrigar

“When the tongue is silent, the mind speaks;
When the mind is silent, the heart sings;
When the heart stops singing,
The Soul begins to experience it's original Self.”



Some say that we all choose our challenges before birth.



“There are more things in heaven and earth,
Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
- William Shakespeare



On the 31st of January 1969 at 12.15 pm, in His room at Meherabad, Baba breathed His last to ‘live eternally in the hearts of those who love Him’, As per His wish, a record of His favourite song ‘Begin the Beguine’ was played seven times near His body.

Cole Porter - Begin The Beguine Lyrics

Album: Great American Composer Series

When they begin

the beguine

it brings back the sound

of music so tender

it brings back a night

of tropical splendor

it brings back a memory of green

I'm with you once more

under the stars

and down by the shore

an orchestras playing

and even the palms

seem to be swaying

when they begin

the beguine

to live it again

is past all endeavor
except when that tune

clutches my heart

and there we are swearing to love forever

and promising never

never to part

a moments divine

what rapture serene

to clouds came along

to disperse the joys we had tasted

and now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted

I know but too well what they mean

so dont let them begin the beguine

let the love that was once a fire

remain an ember

let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember

when they begin the beguine

oh yes let them begin the beguine

make them play

til the stars that were there before

return above you

till you whisper to me

once more darling I love you

and we suddenly know what heaven we're in

when they begin

the beguine

Baba had indicated that of all the places on earth, Asia, more particularly India, is closest to the ‘creation point’.



Life would be infinitely more complicated if one who is not spiritually advanced were burdened by the conscious memory of numberless past lives …



It is said that prayer is when we talk to God, and meditation is when we listen.
