"The rain falls on both rocks and soil." - Avatar Meher Baba
Meher Mount
Your Friday photo…
When it finally rained this winter in February, Meher Mount caretaker Ray Johnston captured the moment in this photo. Volunteer and board member Agnes Montano suggested the following quote from Avatar Meher Baba.
“The rain falls on both rocks and the soil.
But the water flows away down the rock, while the earth soaks it up. The rock does not derive any benefit from the rain, while the soil does.
Although the rain falls equally on both, only the soil takes advantage of it.
Similarly, my mercy and grace are equally on all.
But only those on the plain deserve it, while those who go about as if they are on top of a high mountain do not benefit by it!”
