Tales from The New Life with Meher Baba

From the back cover:
Between 1949 and 1952, in what he called the “New Life,” Meher Baba stepped down from his role of spiritual Master and became an ordinary seeker of God, often wandering without a home and begging for his food.

Reminiscing informally in a conversational format, in this book several of Baba’s former New Life “companions” narrate vivid and beautiful stories from this most enigmatic and fascinating phase in Meher Baba’s Avataric career.

Meher Baba’s New Life Quote
“The New Life is endless and even after my physical death will be kept alive by those who live the life of complete renunciation of falsehood, lies, hatred, anger, greed, and lust; and who, to accomplish all this, do no lustful actions, do no harm to anyone, do no backbiting, do not seek material possessions, or power, who accept no homage, neither covet honour nor shun disgrace and fear no one and nothing; by those who rely wholly and solely on God, and who love God purely for the sake of loving; who believe in the lovers of God and in the reality of Manifestation, and yet do not expect any spiritual or material reward; who do not let go the hand of Truth, and who, without being upset by calamities, bravely and wholeheartedly face all hardships with 100% cheerfulness, and give no importance to caste, creed, and religious ceremonies.
This New Life will live by itself eternally, even if there is no one to live it.
