Baba then asked, “If someone asked you who is Meher Baba, what would you say?”
Nadine Tolstoy answered, “God!”
Norina Matchabelli said, “The God-Man!”
Baba concurred, “Not God, but God-Man. God-Man is more than God! God is absolute. One who manifests the absolute is the God-Man.
“The person who is one with God is Man-God; it is wrong to say just God. Jivatma means man; mahatma means pilgrim on the path; Paramatma means God. When Jivatma becomes one with Paramatma, man is called Shivatma. Paramatma cannot be called Shivatma.”
