"Meher Baba once conveyed to His close ones, "This [body] is only an overcoat that I am wearing; this is not the real Me." That "Real Me" of the Avatar's presence is now manifesting itself in innumberable ways through the Samadhi. There the atmosphere is permeated with His divine presence, awakening hearts to His glorious love. To enter the Samadhi is to bathe in a clear pool of purity. It not only cleanses the impurities of mind and heart, but perfumes one's entire being with His illuminating presence. The Samadhi is where Meher Baba responds to His lovers' longing for the Avatar's physical company. Whenever one has the rare fortune to visit there, either physically or in one's thoughts, it performs a wondrous sanctification of one's mind and heart. That little room holds the key that unlocks any human heart which sincerely calls on Him, the Eternal Beloved."

ACCREDITATION
Bal Natu has no academic qualifications. He is neither widely
read nor widely traveled. He is just an ordinary person who lives in a small Indian village, a place most dear to his heart. He has no ambition to be anyone special, for he feels that life at any point in time, or in any place, reveals its
meaning and beauty abundantly. He prefers to be looked upon as a friend rather than a writer or poet. He dislikes to be taught but is ever willing to
listen and learn. So naturally he does not wish to teach or convince anyone about anything. However, he is happy to share in a free and friendly manner his way of life. Age is no bar to God's unconditional compassion, and anyone can converse intimately with Him.
