Farewell Message from Meher Baba
“YOU ALL ARE MINE”
Those who love Me are Mine. The whole world is Mine. YOU ALL ARE MINE. Everything is Mine.
All are Mine. Every individual here is Mine. The whole universe is Mine. I am the One for those who love Me. I AM ONLY HIS WHO LOVES ME.
Write these words in your hearts: All are Mine. The one who loves Me is Mine whether he be sitting near Me or staying miles away from Me. That is a fact.
Baba wants you all to be happy. Don’t feel worried. Don’t feel nervous. Baba wants you all to go happily and cheerfully. Baba knows everything. Take Baba with you fully.
TAKE AS MUCH OF BABA AS YOU CAN WITH YOU.
