From treasures 9th January1939, Meher Baba’s message: “when suffering leads to real eternal happiness.” We should not attach importance to this suffering. It is to be eliminate suffering that suffering has to come. “People suffer because they are not satisfied; they want more and more. Ignorance gives rise to greed and vanity. If you want nothing, would you then suffer? But you do want. If you did not want anything, you would not suffer even in jaw of a lion. “The widespread dissatisfaction in modern life is due to the gulf between theory and Practice; between the ideal and its realization on earth. The spiritual and material aspects of life are widely separated instead of being closely united. There is no fundamental opposition between spirit and matter, or, if you like, between life and form. The apparent opposition is due to wrong thinking, to ignorance. “ The best and also easiest way of overcoming the ego and attaining divine consciousness is to Develop love and to render selfless service to all humanity in whatever circumstances we may be Placed .All ethics and religious practices lead to this. The more we live for others and the less we Live for ourselves, The more the lower desires are eliminated; and this in turn reacts upon the ego, Suppressing it and transforming it proportionately. “The root of all our difficulties, individual and social, is self- interest. “Eliminate self-interest and you will solve all your problems, individual and social. “The world will soon realize that neither cults, creeds, dogmas, religious ceremonies, lectures and sermons , on the one hand, nor on the other hand ardent seeking for material or physical pleasures, can ever bring about real happiness; only self less love and universal brotherhood can do it” Avatar Meher Baba
