We are at the threshold of a monumental change, the likes of which has never happened before. The enormity of it is such that Beloved Baba called it his ‘Second Miracle’, a Divine Event as immense and as colossal as the act of Creation itself. He said:

My first great miracle was this whole creation, and the second will be when I break my silence.

Online Lord Meher pp 3858. 1955 Meherabad

It is surprising how many times Beloved Baba repeated this theme.  On another occasion he said:

Mine will be the Miracle of all miracles. It will be when I break my silence. It will be the first and last miracle of its kind since Creation.
Online Lord Meher PP 5254 , 1966
 

And again:

...when I break my silence, the first and the last of the greatest of all miracles will be performed.
Online Lord Meher pp 3510 , 1954

​

As early as 1927 he alluded to this work. He said :

I have a law of my own for managing the affairs of the universe.  But when I speak, that law will be kept aside, because the spiritual push will be universal. So, the law which I have created for the universe will be set aside.
Online Lord Meher pp 821, 1927

Baba used the word "universal’’ and said the spiritual push will be universal; not for just a few but universal, for all!
 

Sometimes, because we are not able to properly register the impact of Baba’s sayings, we gently step over them and think they were metaphors; that he was exaggerating or that he spoke in a language we do not understand. But as Baba frees us from old habits of thinking and his new dispensation takes hold, we begin to register them for what they are: concrete statements of Truth.

For example, Baba said:

“What is going to happen, you have no idea – something that has never happened before”
Online Lord Meher pp 5311 , 1968

And:

“That which is to happen after 21 May 1968, will be something great, something that has never happened before, something that will not happen again for billions and billions of years.”
Online Lord Meher pp 5333 , 1968

He later changed the date to end of July 1968 and on July 30th, he stated unequivocally:

​

“My work is done. It is completed 100 percent to my satisfaction.  The result of this work will also be 100 percent and will manifest from the end of September [1968]”
Online Lord Meher pp 5340 , 1968

Baba said He was not just ending a cycle of 7 Avatars but a cycle of cycles. He said:

“All cycles of time in illusion end and begin after 700 to 1400 years. There have been and will be millions and billions of such cycles in a cycle of cycles.”
Online Lord Meher pp 5340 , 1954

And that :

“This is the last cycle of cycles, ....”
Online Lord Meher pp 4677 , 1960

The following account in the Family Letter related in 1967 by Mani, underlines this monumental change:
 

“Recently the Beloved has been telling us, not much of the close at hand breaking of His Silence, but of the monumental changes that will come about on Earth when he does so. One morning while we were sitting at breakfast with Baba and a hummingbird was hovering before a windowpane in ecstasy, of its own reflection, we got to talking of His Silence.

Illustrating for us the completeness of the transformation that will take place in the world after He breaks His silence, Baba cupped his left hand loosely over his right as though he were holding a big ball and then with deft movement brought his right hand over his left in an absolute turnover of the imaginary ball’s position. “Upside down”, one of us interpreted. With a half smile Baba gestured “Right side up.”

82 FAMILY LETTERS, p. 264

There is no ambiguity in these statements, Baba is initiating a new Cycle of Cycles which will bring about a colossal change, the likes of which has happened only once before, when creation as we now know it, was first struck. This brings to mind Hazrat Babajan’s words; 

 

“...my son will shake the world to its foundation.”

​

The breaking of Silence dissolves the old to make room for the New and Baba was clear that this work was 100% completed to his satisfaction; not 99% but 100%.  One way to think about this is to recognize that the first creation
ushered in by Baba’s first miracle is now ending and the Second Creation, marshaled by his second miracle, has just begun.

The first creation was primarily focused on evolution and reincarnation; a journey from the core of life to its periphery, aimed at maturing the structures of consciousness through innumerable experiences.

During the first creation, involution was the exception to the norm, and individuals ascended the spiritual path one at a time with great effort. The second half of creation, just beginning, is primarily focused on involution and the journey back to the source, which will no longer be the exception, but will become the norm. In other words, things will be turned around and made right side up.  In the Discourse titled “Avatar” Baba made the astonishing statement that:

​

Qualities of energy and awareness, which had been used and enjoyed by only a few advanced souls, are made available for all humanity.
DISCOURSES, 7th ed, pp. 266-270

After all, Baba did say that ‘the spiritual push will be universal’. This will be so because divinity itself has broken out of its Silence and has washed over creation in a descendant deluge of Grace.
 

The initial divine wave that issued forth from the Ocean of Silence, has now crested and is beginning to fall back into the Ocean.

The wave had gone out of the Ocean as far as it could, and in the process had completed the structures of consciousness and had refined all experience through evolution and reincarnation. That was the goal of the first miracle. And now, it is the Ocean that reaches out to the waves and embraces them.
 

We have journeyed far; lifetimes sailing the surface of open seas, using our intellect and mind to wade in the shallows. But the time has now come to leave the mind behind and follow our heart. It is time to hazard the journey from the shallows into the depths of the Ocean, from the mind to the heart, ... the one Universal Heart.
