“No one can realize God except through the grace and help of a God-realized Master, who is Truth incarnate. Only a God-realized Master can awaken this true love in the human heart, by consuming through the fire of his grace all the dross that prevents its release.
Those who have got the courage and the wisdom to surrender themselves to a Perfect Master are the recipients of his grace. The grace of the Master does come to those who deserve it. And when it comes, it enkindles in the human heart a love divine, which not only enables the aspirant to become one with God, but also to be of infinite help to others who are also struggling with their own limitations.
There is no power greater than love.”
– Messages of Meher Baba, East and West, ed. Adi K. Irani, p53 (1944, Nagpur)
