Three: The Art of Discipleship 129<br />

Let not despair or disappointment ravage and destroy the garden<br />

of your life;<br />

You beautify it by contentment and self-sufficiency.<br />

“Even though your heart be cut to bits, let a smile be on your<br />

lips.<br />

Here I divulge to you a truth:<br />

Hidden in your empty hands is treasure untold;<br />

Your beggarly life is the envy of kings.<br />

“God exists indeed, and true are the Prophets,<br />

Every cycle has an <strong>Avatar</strong>, and every moment a wali.*<br />

For us, however, it is only hopelessness and helplessness,<br />

How else can I describe to you what our New Life is”<br />

A Prayer for <strong>Baba</strong>’s Lovers<br />

Dictated by <strong>Meher</strong> <strong>Baba</strong><br />

Beloved God, help us all to love You more and more,<br />

And more and more and still yet more,<br />

Till we become worthy of union with You;<br />

And help us all to hold fast to <strong>Baba</strong>’s Daaman till the<br />

very end.<br />
