other eastern religions

This one of the most remarkable books you'll ever read; over and over. It is the book you grab when your house is on fire. People pestered Meher Baba to tell all. He perfered jokes and games. So, the Avatar explains how the whole of humanity is structured. As only he can. There are large fold out illustrations and graphs to augment to His unbelievable words. Mind you, this is not an easy read. I would suggest reading "The Discourses" first. But this is a crowning acheivment amidst a vast array of so called "spiritual" books. I wouldn't live without it.

This isn't the easiest book to read on your own. I read it with a group every week for 4 months. It was better that way for me. Very deep material. Well worth it in the end. Meyer Baba said to read this book at least 5 times to understand it. I've read it twice, so far.

Yes, I wholeheartedly recommend reading this book. Here's my story so far that may shed some light on why I rate GOD SPEAKS so highly.

I read GOD SPEAKS a year and a half ago on a lark. I'm interested intellectually in syncretism, and I like The Who (Pete Townshend is famously a Baba devotee), so I figured that GOD SPEAKS with its charts delineating Baba's vocabulary in Sufi, Vedantic, and Plain Vanilla terms would be a worthwhile diversion.

Instead, it set off an earthquake. I began unconsciously to compare everything I read or thought about or experienced to what I gleaned from Baba's book. It seeped into the pores, so to speak, and now even my breath is stained with it. And I have to say I'm better for it. I hadn't realized this until last week, when I finally figured out that something has been going on right under my nose.

This is the Being and Time of twentieth-century spirituality.

Peace to all.
