Aucun autre Enseignant à notre époque ou dans aucun temps passé connu n'a analysé la conscience aussi minutieusement que Meher Baba l'a fait dans God Speaks . La psychologie occidentale, en particulier sous la direction illustre du Dr [Carl] Jung, a fait de grands progrès dans l'étude de l'inconscient et de l'état de rêve, mais en raison de son adhésion nécessaire aux méthodes conservatrices de la recherche scientifique, elle n'a pas pu , pour l'instant, pour sonder les profondeurs du voyant. Ainsi, pour le psychologue circonscrit par la science, God Speaks devrait se révéler d'une importance primordiale pour inspirer de nouveaux progrès sur le chemin psychologique.
Corrélativement, il convient de noter en particulier la partie VIII, sur l'évolution de la conscience, et la partie IX, sur les dix états de Dieu, à laquelle est attaché un schéma reliant «les équivalents mystiques soufis, védantiques et chrétiens les plus généralement acceptés». Dans son ensemble, le livre marque clairement l'union des éléments essentiels des différentes religions historiques à la lumière de la gnose des soufis.
Le traité éclairant de Meher Baba ajoute beaucoup à la somme totale de l'apprentissage et contribue de manière incalculable à l'enrichissement de l'humanité car, comme l'enseignent les sages d'Asie, la plus intrinsèquement précieuse de toutes les richesses, et plus grande que toute richesse mondaine, est la juste connaissance.
Nulle part la sagesse de Meher Baba n'est plus succinctement exposée que dans sa conclusion, à la page 176: "Comprendre la réalité infinie et éternelle n'est PAS le but des êtres individualisés dans l'illusion de la création, parce que la réalité ne peut jamais être comprise; c'est de être réalisé par l'expérience consciente.

C'est avant tout un livre pour l'esprit, en ce sens qu'il nécessite une réflexion et une étude approfondies, et ne fait pas appel aussi directement à notre côté émotionnel ou dévotionnel que le font les courts messages et les exhortations de Baba à ses disciples. C'est, par essence, une cosmologie divine, une carte de l'univers en évolution, dans laquelle nous jouons tous un rôle, pour nous aider à trouver le chemin le plus rapide et le plus court pour rentrer chez nous - vers notre Dieu bien-aimé, qui se trouve, lors de la réalisation, être notre propre Soi..… ; (en ligne),

God Speaks is a minutely detailed description of the journey of the soul from the time of its "creation" until it has completed its function in the evolution and involution of consciousness, and has returned to the Over-Soul from which it originated.

Meher Baba's metaphysical views are most notably described in "God Speaks". His cosmology incorporates concepts and terms from Vedanta, Sufism, and Christianity. Meher Baba upheld the concept of nonduality, the view that diverse creation, or duality, is an illusion and that the goal of life is conscious realization of the absolute Oneness of God inherent in all animate and inanimate beings and things. Meher Baba compares God's original state to an infinite, shoreless ocean which has only unconscious divinity — unaware of itself because there is nothing but itself. From this state, God had the "whim" to know Himself, and asked "Who am I?" In response to this question, creation came into existence. In this analogy, what was previously a still, shoreless Ocean now stirred, forming innumerable "drops" of itself or souls. Meher Baba often remarked "You will find all the answers to your questions in "God Speaks". Study the book thoroughly and absorb it."

About the Author:

Meher Baba (February 25, 1894 – January 31, 1969), born Merwan Sheriar Irani, was an Indian mystic and spiritual master who declared publicly in 1954 that he was the Avatar of the age.

He led a normal childhood and showed no particular inclination toward spiritual matters. At the age of 19, however, a brief contact with the Muslim holy woman Hazrat Babajan triggered a seven-year process of spiritual transformation. Over the next months he contacted four additional spiritual figures whom, along with Babajan, he called "the five Perfect Masters". He spent seven years in spiritual training with one of the masters, Upasni Maharaj, before beginning his public work. The name Meher Baba means "Compassionate Father" and was given to him by his first followers.

From July 10, 1925 to the end of his life, Meher Baba maintained silence, and communicated by means of an alphabet board or by unique hand gestures. With his mandali ('circle' of disciples), he spent long periods in seclusion in which he often fasted. He would intersperse these periods with wide-ranging travels, public gatherings, and works of charity, including working with lepers, the poor, and the mentally ill.

In 1931, he made the first of many visits to the West, including to Australia, gathering many followers. Throughout most of the 1940s he worked with an enigmatic category of persons whom he said were advanced souls and for whom he used the term masts. Starting in 1949, along with selected mandali, he traveled incognito about India in what he called "The New Life." On February 10, 1954, Meher Baba declared that he was the Avatar (an incarnation of God).

After suffering as a passenger in two automobile accidents, one in the United States in 1952 and one in India in 1956, his capacity to walk became seriously limited. In 1962, he invited his western followers to India for a mass darshan called The East-West Gathering. Concerned by an increasing use of LSD and other Psychedelic drugs, in 1966 Meher Baba addressed their use and stated that they did not convey real benefits. Despite deteriorating health, he continued his "universal work," which included fasting, seclusion, and meditation, until his death on January 31, 1969. His samadhi (tomb-shrine) in Meherabad, India has become a place of international pilgrimage.
