“I am the Divine Beloved worthy of being loved because I am Love.”

—  Meher Baba

Final Message (6 January 1969).
General sources
Context: To love Me for what I may give you is not loving Me at all. To sacrifice anything in My cause to gain something for yourself is like a blind man sacrificing his eyes for sight. I am the Divine Beloved worthy of being loved because I am Love. He who loves Me because of this will be blessed with unlimited sight and will see Me as I am.
