I swear to, erm, God, that the idea that he is somehow special and an avatar is something kind of lost in translation..

I think people should just stop crediting quotes altogether. (novel speeches and paragraphs aside)  This one especially as it says, Meher wouldn't be the only contributor to the quote; the universe would be.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Beware of modesty. Modesty, under the cloak of humility, invariably leads one into the clutches of self-deception. Modesty breeds egoism, and man eventually succumbs to pride through assumed humility.

modesty is the basis of guise, true greatness is free from camouflage.

circastes said:All we need do is stop ourselves from straying with these sanskaras or vasanas or whatever they are that cause us to fear, doubt, desire, and what not. And the funny thing is when you get rid of them, you realise, they were never really there.

And here's perhaps a good poem by R.D. Laing about it:

Quote:

---

Before one goes through the gate
one may not be aware there is a gate
One may think there is a gate to go through
and look a long time for it
without finding it
One may find it and
it may not open
If it opens one may be through it
As one goes through it
one sees that the gate one went through
was the self that went through it
no one went through a gate
there was no gate to go through
no one ever found a gate
no one ever realized there was never a gate
