DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

4  TYPES  OF  SAMADHI

1 September, 1928

At 8 A.M. the next morning, Saturday, 1 September 1928, a gathering was held in the new quarters of the Prem Ashram. Baba explained about the four types of samadhi, and then dictated:

For God-realization, all experienced mahatmas say, "Go to a Sadguru. Serve him; love him; and remain in his shelter." Swami Vivekananda, in his [book on the] life of Ramakrishna Paramhansa [My Master], expresses his opinion that God must be worshiped as man, i.e., as an incarnation of God, and blessed are those races which have such incarnations of God to worship. These incarnations are living Gods on Earth. These Man-Gods are real Gods who have been worshiped [in ages past].

Of what use and advantage are mere mystical principles? We must put our faith and our hope in these Man-Gods. When we think of them, they enter our soul and make us like them. Therefore, meditate on me because I am a Sadguru.

Baba ended by saying, "Love me sincerely. None will repent for having loved me. None will repent for having served me. None will repent for having surrendered to me — though at present you may feel so!"
