In God’s Hand
Meher Baba
Hardbound, $30

        Sometime around 1925, Meher Baba wrote out, in pencil on inexpensive notepaper, thirty-nine pages of explanations on spirituality. Recently come to light, these handwritten pages record basic truths about God and illusion, Light and darkness, the dream of creation and the awakening of the self—themes at the core of Baba’s spiritual explanations in later works. Here is a vivid picture of Meher Baba’s dynamic personality in His early years: His quicksilver energy and vitality, His fluid changes of mood and style, His astonishing creativity. The manuscript is all the more precious because, from 1927 until He passed away in 1969, Meher Baba stopped writing altogether, except for signing His name. In this edition, prepared by the Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust, the manuscript pages have been presented in facsimile, in full color and actual size, recreating the remarkable beauty of the originals. For those who would like to study the content of Baba’s explanations more closely, the facsimile is followed by a supplement containing a printed text of each page, translations of non-English words, footnotes and textual aids. This is a book to cherish, to read over and over again and to pass on to future generations.
