Special Messages given by Avatar Meher Baba on His Birth Anniversaries:

25th February 1961
"I am The One who is always lost and found among mankind. It is your love for yourself that loses Me and it is your love for Me that finds Me. Love Me above everything, for now while I am in your midst I am most easily found as I really Am."

25th February 1962
"On this Anniversary of My Birthday I give you My Blessings for the deathday of your false selves and for the Birthday in Me of your ONE TRUE SELF."

25th February 1963
For reason of His very Important Universal work, Avatar Meher Baba, wished that Meher Centres in India and elsewhere do NOT have any sort of Celebrations for His 69th Birthday in February 1963.

25th February 1964
"The aim of life is to love God. The goal of life is to become one with God.The surest and quickest way to achieve this goal is hold on to My daaman by loving Me more and more. I have suffered much and have to suffer much more till I break My Silence. I give My Love to My Lovers."

25th February 1965
"Be true to the trust I repose in you and remember Me wholeheartedly. My love and Blessing to you."

25th February 1966
"Be composed in the reality of My Love, for all confusion and despair is your own shadow which will vanish when I speak the word."

25th February 1967
"Births and deaths are illusory phenomena. One really dies when one is born to live as God, the eternal who is beyond both birth and death."

25th February 1968
"Let my lovers rejoice on my 74th birthday because soon after 25th March something great will happen that has never happened before."

25th February 1969
"To love Me for what I may give you is not loving Me at all. To sacrifice anything in My cause to gain something for your self is like a blind man sacrificing his eyes for sight. I am divine Beloved worthy of being loved because I AM LOVE. He who loves Me because of this will be blessed with unlimited sight and will see Me as I AM."
