Those who speculate from the shore about the ocean shall know only its surface, but those who would know the depths of the ocean must be willing to plunge into it.
Meher Baba Quotes: In the spiritual life it

Love has to spring spontaneously from within
And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force.
Love and coercion can never go together;
But though love cannot be forced on anyone,

And it goes on gathering power and spreading itself,
Until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches ...
Meher Baba Quotes: Love has to spring spontaneously
