DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA
DIVINE LOVE
22 June 1929
Baba's physical aloofness was meant to enhance the boys' close inner contact with him. Through this separation, they would learn to follow the Beloved's wishes and prove worthy of his love.
Baba commented on 22 June, "Divine love is absolutely strange! Beatings are given, as well as affection shown. The way to the Path is totally different. Effulgence is there, but also 'fire.' Indifference from the Master devastates, but beatings from him act like a magnet!"
