God Speaks: The Theme of Creation and Its Purpose

Meher Baba en 1941
byMeher Baba

His most systematic metaphysical exposition. It describes how God, in an original state of unconscious infinity, experiences the urge to know himself and, through imagination, identifies with ever more complex forms—gas, stone, metal, vegetable, worm, fish, bird, animal and human—in a process of evolution of consciousness; then, through reincarnation, the soul exhausts its accumulated impressions and, in involution, crosses seven inner planes until it realises God. It distinguishes ten states of God and sets out the role of the Perfect Masters and the Avatar. It includes eleven charts and an extensive supplement of Sufi and Vedantic terminology. It is dedicated 'To the Universe—the Illusion that sustains Reality'.
