God - Beyond Definition



One day while the disciples were sitting in MandaIi Hall in Meher Baba’s presence, He said to us,

“After I have dropped My body, seekers will come to you and say, ‘Since you were with Meher Baba, can you tell us what He called Himself?’”

“And when you will answer that He was God in human form. they will ask you. ‘What did He say about God?’ and what will you reply then?”

We responded to Baba’s question by stating that God is all in all; that He is omnipotent and omniscient and the possessor of all the qualities attributed to God.

“Your answer,” said Baba, “is only a part of the Truth because God is beyond all this. Whatever definition you attempt would limit God who is Himself unlimited, and being unlimited He is Everything which also includes nothing. So now how will you be able to give a perfect definition of God?”

When none of the mandali could volunteer a satisfactory answer, Baba told us, “When people will ask you ‘What is God?’ the only answer is a counter-question ‘What is not God’”
