This book gives you essential spiritual insight and answers to all the major questions and problems of life. Meher Baba helps you look at life from a spiritual point of view, allowing you to understand why the world is why it is and why you are the way you are... beware though, you may find the answers to be deceptively simple. Meher Baba speaks with divine authority.. there is no "my opinion is.." or "research shows.." or "..is probably because" written in this book. I cannot recommend this book enough! From a personal standpoint, the person I was when I started reading this book was not the same person who finished reading it... and believe me when I say I had wracked my soul in trying to find answers in life that were provided here. But most importantly, reading this was a catalyst for allowing me to feel God's love that unites all life. Can I logically explain this? No. Will this happen to you? Only if it's meant to. Should you read this book anyway? Absolutely. Did Meher Baba expect everyone to be able to follow these spiritual practices perfectly? I would most definitely guess not... I know I can't. Meher Baba basically wrote a how-to and explanation book about the journey to God.

Meher Baba's Discourses is clearly head and shoulders above the thousands of other books on the subject of life, spirituality, love, God, and religion. It has been the mainstay of clear, accurate, and unique counsel and guidance for me and my family for more than 30 years.

Buy it, you will certainly find it priceless (and that is an understatement!)

A spiritual reference. This book is similar to Aurobindo's book as a spiritual instructional manual. Unlike Aurobindo's book this one wasn't pieced together by letters to disciples. It's much more coherent and consise. The information is very similar to Aurobindo's. Meher talks about Reincarnation, Karma, Maya, Meditation, Sanskaras, Ego, God, Realization, Love and Happiness from his enlightened perspective. His insights and understanding seem to be right on the money.

There are oh so many books, CDs, and courses about Spirituality. some many mean well and are heartfelt. But there is only one Meher Baba. This volume is a veritable bible for the seeker. I cannot think of any other books that are filled with complete understanding and that define the world we live in. It is truely a MUST own book. Do yourself the great favor of owning this treasure.

This collection of discourses on spirtual topics by the late spiritual master Meher Baba is an astonishing synthesis of all of the major mystical approaches to God. Meher Baba gives the reader a comprehensive overview of the spiritual path, with his main focus always being the expression of love for God through service to others. With sections on love, meditation, reincarnation and karma, the place of occultism in spiritual life, Maya, and qualifications of the aspirant, this book is without peer in the history of spiritual literature.

I have kept a copy of Meher Baba's "Discourses" close, very close, for 30 years. A sweet-wild music still rises from these pages and stunning truths still break wine bottles over my head. And most of all ­ this book rips away all that keeps my heart from flight.

For those looking for practical answers to bringing god into their everyday life this is an essential text. Meher Baba gives answers to common spiritual questions such as love, sex and marriage and gives inspiration and guidance to life. For those exploring or even for those just beginning to explore their connection to God this book gives one a clear path that will help reconcile the needs of modern living with the souls need for spiritual nourishment.

In this era of New Age "spirtuality lite", Wayne Dyer, Joel Osteen et al.,it is indeed a most fortunate event if one is lucky enough to stumble
upon this book. As I approach my mid 60's and having read many books on the subject of Yoga, Meditation, Spirituality, I would gladly trade them all in for this book and Meher Baba's Master work "God Speaks". Rating books like these 5 stars is laughable, they are beyond catagory.If these books were manditory reading for every college kid, the world would be a very different place going forward. Not an easy read by any means and well worth doing whatever it takes to get through it.

If I had to clear my personal library of all self-help books save one, this would be the one left standing. And I doubt I'd feel any sense of loss!
