REGARDING PILGRIMAGE

We His lovers, must not forget why we come to Meherabad in the first place. Meherabad is a place of Holy Pilgrimage. It is not a vacation spot, resort or retreat. It behooves each pilgrim blessed to cross His Threshold, to accept all conditions of their pilgrimage as the prasad given to them by their Beloved Lord.
To have one's pilgrimage accepted by the Lord is no easy task, for it means more than to merely bow down at His Samadhi. We must accept wholeheartedly any and all trials and tribulations that may beset us during our pilgrimage, knowing full well, that these very difficulties when happily accepted without reservation or expectation mark His acceptance of our pilgrimage. Doubly blessed is the pilgrim who, in spite of all hardships, remains cheerfully resigned to the conditions of his pilgrimage.
And yet, Beloved Avatar Meher Baba, in His Infinite Compassion and Benevolence, has made our pilgrimage so comfortable and easy that we have forgotten all that He Himself, as Man amongst men, suffered throughout His Ministry to awaken His love in our hearts.
Dear brothers and sisters, we have been blessed to receive His gift of love, now it is time for us to return that love by dissolving all expectations, reservations and desires in total gratitude and resignation to His Will.
With warm regards in Love and Service of our Beloved Lord Avatar Meher Baba.
Yours lovingly,
Eruch
关于朝圣

我们，他的爱者，千万不要忘记我们当初为什么要来到美拉巴德。美拉巴德是朝圣的神圣之地。它不是度假的地方，也不是静养的度假胜地。每一个朝圣者都幸运地跨过他的门槛，接受他们的朝圣之道，就像他们深爱的主所赐给他们的帕萨德。
要获得一次被主接受的朝圣不是一件容易的事情，因为它的意义远不止是向他的三摩地低头。我们必须全心全意地接受那些在我们朝圣期间可能困扰着我们的一切考验和磨难。因为我们深知，如果没有报赏或期望，这些困难就会被欣然接受，这是他接受我们的朝圣之旅的标志。这个朝圣者虽然处境艰难，但他仍然高高兴兴地接受他的朝圣之旅。
然而，亲爱的阿瓦塔，在他无限的慈悲和仁慈中，使我们的朝圣变得如此舒适和容易，我们已经忘记了他自己，作为人类中的人，在他那里所遭受的痛苦，为在我们心中唤醒他的爱。
亲爱的兄弟姐妹们，我们很幸运地收到了他的爱之礼，现在是时候回报我们的爱了。我们可以解除所有的期待、报偿和愿望，并对他的意志给予感激和彻底的顺从。
在我们至爱的阿瓦塔的爱和服务中，致以亲切问候。
您钟爱的
爱瑞奇
