SONG OF THE NEW LIFE

O F

MEHER BABA 8c HIS COMPANION!

Listen to the silent words of Meher Baba ;

The life-stoiy of all lovers ( of God ) is based on the practice of these words

If you are serious about living this New life.

Then whole-heartedly renounce this ephemeral existence.

11

We have taken to this life, in which we reiy only on God ;

In this, our Will (to do or die) is strengthened by the oath taken :we are merrily singing the song of hopelessness :We are inviting all calamities and difficulties.

We neither wail over lost hopes, nor complain about ( broken ) prom.isesWe neither covet honour, nor shun disgrace;Back-biting we know not, nor do we fear anyone:

This is now the colour of our New Life.

IV

No confusion in the mind, now, nor any ties left:

Pride, anger, iust and greed we know not.

We have no religion nor care for physical and mental fads.The Sheikh and the Brahmin—typifying al l castes and cieeds—are now

sailing in the same boat.

V

There is no small or great now, for us all ;The questions of disciple Master or God-hood, no longer arise;Brotherliness or fellow-feeling is the link that exists.

And this contributes to our present enjoyment of suffering.

VI

This world or the next, hell or heaven, we no longer bother about.

Shakties and Siddhis. occultism and miracles, we no longer think of ;

All these false impressions (thoughts) for us have been purged from the mind.What has value and importance for us now, is to live in the active present.

VII

Dear ones, take seriously the words of Baba when he says.

Although now, 1 am on the same level with you all.

Yet all orders from me, good. bad. extraordinary

You should all carry out immediately, leaving the result to God.

VIII

Even if the heavens fall.

Do not let go the hand of Truth.

Let despair and disappointment ravage and destroy the garden (of your life).You beautify it once again, by the seedlings of contentrhent and self-sufficiency.

IX

Even if your heart is cut to bits, let there be a smile on your Hps.

Here 1 divulge to you a point worth noting.

Hidden in your penniless hands, is treasure untold;

Your beggarly life will be the envy of Kings ( of the world ).

X

God exists indeed and true are the Prophets;

Every Cycle has an Avatar and every moment has a Wall.For us however, it is only hopelessness and helplessness.

How else should 1 tell you what our New Life is I
