"I really need that right now..."

Meher Mount

Your Friday photo…

Nearly 300 stickers carrying Meher Baba’s well-known message, “don’t worry, be happy,” were given to visitors at Meher Mount's booth during Ojai Day 2024.

When offered the free "don't worry, be happy" sticker, a common response was, "Yes. I really need that right now." And then the person smiled.

At the booth are Sam Ervin, Juan Mendez, and Ron Holsey talking to one of the many people who stopped by to chat.

See below to see why there’s always a happy ending — and to get your own free sticker.


I really need that right now..
— A Visitor Reaching for a "Don't Worry, Be Happy" Sticker

A Happy Ending

Mani S. Irani, Meher Baba’s sister and close disciple, reinforced the “don’t worry, be happy” message when she shared this story:

“When Baba said a thing it was with the authority of supreme knowledge, knowing everything. So when He says be happy, don't worry, He knows there is no reason to worry.

“…Baba would always like a happy ending. That is because His story, the story of His creation, has a happy ending. We are simply going through chapters.

“But somebody who has read the book and who knows the end, can very authoritatively say, ‘Don't worry, don't worry’ while you are in the midst of a chapter which is terrible.

“So whenever we go through something that seems so difficult, so disagreeable, don't worry, remember it is only a chapter... the next chapter might be different.

“When the end of the story comes, the story is finished. So, we might as well enjoy the story while we are in it too.”
