Meher Baba , rodným jménem Merwan Sheriar Irani, byl indický duchovní učitel, který prohlásil, že je Avatár, Bůh v lidské podobě.Merwan Sheriar Irani se narodil v roce 1894 v Puné v Indii zoroastriánským rodičům. Ve věku 19 let začal sedmiletou duchovní proměnu. V této době kontaktoval pět duchovních učitelů. Na začátku roku 1922, ve věku 27 let, zahájil svou vlastní misi a získal si vlastní učedníky.Od 10. července 1925 až do konce svého života Meher Baba zachovával mlčení, komunikoval pouze prostřednictvím destičky s abecedou nebo unikátními gesty rukou. Se svými mandali strávil mnoho času v ústraní, během této doby se často postil. Také hojně cestoval, vedl veřejná shromáždění a věnoval se charitě pro malomocné, chudé a mentálně nemocné.

V roce 1931 Meher Baba uskutečnil jednu ze svých mnoha cest na západ, kde si získal mnoho přívrženců. Během většiny čtyřicátých let pracoval s adepty víry masty, o kterých prohlásil, že jsou uchváceni nebo okouzleni vnitřními duševními zážitky. Od roku 1949 cestoval inkognito po Indii. Toto tajemné a stále z velké části neobjasněné období nazval "Nový život".Poté, co byl jako cestující dvakrát zraněn ve vážných automobilových nehodách, ve Spojených státech v roce 1952 a v Indii v roce 1956, byla jeho schopnost chodit velmi omezená. V roce 1962 pozval své příznivce ze západu do Indie na hromadný darshan nazvaný "The East-West Gathering". Byl znepokojen rostoucím užíváním LSD a dalších psychedelických drog a v roce 1966 prohlásil, že nepřinášejí žádný skutečný užitek. Navzdory zhoršujícímu se zdravotnímu stavu pokračoval v tzv. "Všestanné práci", která zahrnovala půsty a život v ústraní, až do své smrti 31. ledna 1969. Wikipedia

To Paul Brunton in 1930, as quoted in Meher Prabhu: Lord Meher, The Biography of the Avatar of the Age, Meher Baba, Manifestation, Inc. 1986, by Bhau Kalchuri, p. 1349.
Lord Meher (1986)

“To penetrate into the essence of all being and significance and to release the fragrance of that inner attainment for the guidance and benefit of others, by expressing, in the world of forms, truth, love, purity and beauty — this is the sole game which has intrinsic and absolute worth. All other happenings, incidents and attainments in themselves can have no lasting importance.”

Discourses (1967) http://discoursesbymeherbaba.org/v2-110.php, Volume II, § The Place of Occultism in Spiritual Life: III, p. 113
General sources

“Infinite God, age after age, throughout all cycles, wills through His Infinite Mercy to effect His presence amidst mankind by stooping down to human level in the human form, but His physical presence amidst mankind not being apprehended, He is looked upon as an ordinary man of the world. When He asserts, however, His Divinity on earth by proclaiming Himself the Avatar of the Age, He is worshipped by some who accept Him as God; and glorified by a few who know him as God on Earth. But it invariably falls to the lot of the rest of humanity to condemn Him, while He is physically in their midst.
Thus it is that God as man, proclaiming Himself as the Avatar, suffers Himself to be persecuted and tortured, to be humiliated and condemned by humanity for whose sake His Infinite Love has made him stoop so low, in order that humanity, by its very act of condemning God's manifestation in the form of Avatar should, however, indirectly, assert the existence of God in His Infinite Eternal state.”

The Highest of the High (1953)

“Hopelessness means renunciation of all hopes. Aimlessness means renunciation of all aims. Helplessness means renunciation of all help. No master, no disciple, means renunciation of spirituality. And the New Life I have in mind eventually means absolute renunciation. Therefore, if any one asks you what this New Life is, say, 'Absolute and perfect renunciation.' If they ask, 'Renunciation of what?”

The Everything and the Nothing (1963)

“Of the 56 God-realised souls on earth, the five Perfect Masters are the most important. And the one who is the highest of all is the Avatar, myself. I come every 700 to 1400 years, and it is undoubtably a very rare and lucky thing for each of you to have the opportunity of loving me individually, since even the Sadgurus long to touch the Avatar physically. When the world is in the grip of pain, misery, suffering and chaos, I manifest myself. Spirituality then reaches its pinnacle, and materialism is at its lowest level. Then again, with the passing of time, spirituality diminishes and materialism increases. From the beginning of time this game has been going on, and it will go on for an eternity.”

Statement of 3 June 1927, p. 6751.
Lord Meher (1986)

“Awaken from your ignorance and try at least to understand that, in the uncompromisingly Indivisible Oneness, not only is the Avatar God, but also the ant and the sparrow, just as one and all of you are nothing but God. The only apparent difference is in the states of consciousness. The Avatar knows that that which is a sparrow is not a sparrow, whereas the sparrow does not realize this and, being ignorant of its ignorance, identifies itself as a sparrow.
Live not in ignorance. Do not waste your precious life-span in differentiating and judging your fellowmen, but learn to long for the love of God. Even in the midst of your worldly activities, live only to find and realize your true identity with your Beloved God.”

Meher Baba’s Call (1954)

“As a rule each action of an ordinary person is motivated by a solitary aim serving a solitary purpose; it can hit only one target at a time and bring about one specific result. But with the Avatar, He being the Centre of each one, any single action of His on the gross plane brings about a network of diverse results for people and objects everywhere.”

63 : The Working of the Avatar, p. 105.
The Everything and the Nothing (1963)

“An ordinary physical action of the Avatar releases immense forces in the inner planes and so becomes the starting point for a chain of working, therepercussions and overtones of which are manifest at all levels and are universal in range and effect.”

63 : The Working of the Avatar, p. 108.
The Everything and the Nothing (1963)

“The Avatar is always one and the same, because God is always One and the Same, the Eternal, Indivisible, Infinite One, who manifests Himself in the form of man as the Avatar, as the Messiah, as the Prophet, as the Ancient One — the Highest of the High. This Eternally One and the Same Avatar repeats His manifestation from time to time, in different cycles, adopting different human forms and different names, in different places, to reveal Truth in different garbs and different languages, in order to raise humanity from the pit of ignorance and help free it from the bondage of delusions.”

“There are always 56 God-realised souls. Now, out of these 56, five are sent out into the world. But in every Avataric period these five become one, thus demonstrating the cycle when the Avatar appears in form. Therefore, the Avatar exists in the heart of these five as one.”
