MIND MEANS THINKING
०००००००००००००००००००००
The mind is a terrible thing, it may be called a curse. It's business is to think and think...... the more so when we do not wish to think of a particular person or thing.
During meditation worldly thoughts always creep in with their continuous onslaughts, for it is the business of the mind to think, think and think. But the real thinker and meditator is he who would not pay attention to these thoughts and would go on meditating on the image of his worship, even amidst the strongest attacks.

WIn yourself

WIN YOURSELF 
~~~~~~~~~~~
To keep your best mood in every situation, never to be upset or sad, to speak gently and lovingly, never using a harsh word, not to get excited when someone steals your things but to say from the bottom of your heart:" May Baba bless you!" that is really difficult.
To control the self is more difficult than walking on fire or glass. It is easy to win a war of nations, but most difficult to win your ownself . It is the only real thing on this path. To keep a calm head, tolerate and swallow everything. You have won the greatest war when you win yourself.
WHEN NOTHING UPSET YOU, YOU ARE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PATH.
WHEN YOU DESIRE NOTHING YOU ARE HALF- WAY OF THE PATH;
WHEN NOTHING BECOMES EVERYTHING, YOU ARE PERFECTED.

HEALING

Healing

Real healing is spiritual healing, whereby the soul, becoming free from desires, doubts and hallucinations, enjoys the eternal bliss of God.

Untimely physical healing might retard the spiritual healing. If borne willingly, physical and mental suffering can make one worthy of receiving spiritual healing.

Consider mental and physical suffering as gifts from God, which if accepted gracefully, lead to everlasting happiness.

Meher Baba, 1952? PL p31

PROCESS OF DEATH

A person dies when his gross sanskaras are exhausted, but the mind and the subtle body remain full of sanskaras. For the next forty to seventy hours after death, the attention of the sanskaras is centered mostly on the place where the body is kept. Within the next eight or ten days, the spirit of the dead experiences the subtle state of either heaven or hell according to his sanskaras.
No ritual is necessary after ten days. The best rites would be to feed either dogs or crows near the body, because they have subtle sight, though they are not subtle conscious, but they have subtle faculties of perception and draw toward themselves the sanskaras of dead people.
