 THE GRACE OF THE GOD-MAN IS LIKE THE RAIN

                                                                         - Avatar Meher Baba

The Man-God is comparable to a banyan tree. The
banyan tree grows huge and mighty, giving shade and
shelter to travelers and protecting them from sun, rain,
and storm. In the fullness of its growth, its descending
rooting branches strike deep into the fallow ground
below to create, in due time, another full-grown banyan
tree. It too becomes equally huge and mighty -- giving
shade and shelter to travelers and protecting them from
sun, rain, and storm -- and has the same potential
power to create similar full-grown banyan trees. The
same is true of the Man-God, who arouses the Godhood
latent in others. Thus the continued succession of the
Perfect Masters on earth is a perpetual blessing to
mankind, helping it onward in its struggle through
darkness.

The God-Man (Avatar), however, may be said to be
both the Lord and servant of the universe at one and the
same time. As the One who showers His spiritual
bounty on all in measureless abundance, He is the Lord
of the universe. As the One who continuously bears the
burden of all and helps them through numberless
spiritual difficulties, He is the servant of the universe.

Just as He is Lord and servant in one, the God-Man is
also the supreme Lover and the matchless Beloved. The
love He gives or receives goes to free the soul from
ignorance. In giving love He gives it to Himself in other
forms; in receiving love He receives what has been
awakened through His own grace, which is
continuously showered on all without distinction. The
grace of the God-Man is like the rain, which falls
equally on all lands irrespective of whether they are
barren or fertile; but it fructifies only in the lands that
have been rendered fertile through arduous and patient
toiling.
