i never read anything about this guy before even though i stumbled upon him on the net more than once in the past... but never felt drawn toward him until today which i've found out that it happens to be his birthday as well.
let's just say that this is one incredible personality which deserves having a look at.
Thank you Ananda for the enjoyable evening! Watched the movie, browsed a few of the books... I particularily liked this quote from Meher Baba: (but it's all good)
quote: THE UMBRELLA OF MENTAL IMPRESSIONS IN ACTUALITY, God is not far from the seeker, nor is it impossible to see Him. He is like the sun, which is ever shining right above you. It is you who have held over your head the umbrella of your variegated mental impressions which hide Him from your view. You have only to remove the umbrella and the Sun is there for you to see. It does not have to be brought there from anywhere. But such a tiny and trivial thing as an umbrella can deprive you of the sight of such a stupendous fact as the Sun.
