Saint Buaji Bua -His Connection to Meher Baba
In 1923, when Meher Baba first informed His close disciples (the Mandali) of His intention to establish an ashram at Arangaon, one of the key reasons He gave was the presence of several saints who had lived in the area. Among those saints was Buaji Bua, a revered and fascinating figure who had chosen to be buried alive in Arangaon nearly 600 years prior.

When the aspirant has developed this intense longing for pure love, he may be said to have been prepared for the intervention of a Perfect Master — who through proper direction and necessary help ushers him into the state of divine love.
Only the Master can awaken pure love through the divine love that he imparts; there is no other way. Those who want to be consumed in love should go to the eternal flame of love.
Love is the most significant thing in life. It cannot be awakened except by coming into contact with the Incarnation of love.
Theoretical brooding on love will result in weaving a theory about love, but the heart will remain as empty as before.
Love begets love; it cannot be awakened by any mechanical means.
