“In
1959,Avatar Meher Baba dictated
the first couplet of "You Alone Exist"
to His close disciple and
nightwatchman, Bhau Kalchuri.
By Baba's instructions, Bhau
added eleven additional couplets.
Baba finished the prayer three
years later,"sitting on His bed
and drumming on His thigh
with His fist in rhythm to the
lines He Himself was composing
for over an hour."
When
Bhau questioned some of
the more unusual descriptions
of God in the prayer, Meher Baba
gestured," Do not change a
single word! The prayer is from Me
...it is all right! You have no idea
of the importance of this prayer.
In the future this prayer of Mine
will be sung in every house
throughout the world."
