2018 NEW LIFE SAHAVAS

“I am very fond of having fun, but when I become serious I remain serious. With Me, it is so from eternity. On gaining Realization, I gave up everything in eternity except My sense of humor...My merry, cheerful nature helps me bear the untold suffering.” - Meher Baba

Meher Baba often asked of the people near Him for entertainment such as skits, games, stories, jokes, or programs of music or dance. It was a delightful diversion for all. Baba said that these moments helped in His Universal Work or lightened His suffering. Not only was it a valuable feature of Baba’s work but an opportunity for His lovers to offer a joyous gift to their Beloved.
