Today throughout the world, people in the know are celebrating Meher Baba's birthday (b. February 25, 1894; d. January 31, 1969). Meher Baba, our most avuncular Avatar, was silent for the last 44 years of his life. However, he was still a master communicator and dictated several important messages and prayers. This one happened to be written in the 1960's with some inventive and imaginative variations on the attributes of God, those being everyone and every thing in Existence.
Baba said that one day this prayer would be sung or recited in every household of the world. I believe him, even though I can't imagine how on earth we're going to get from where we are today to that future. I believe it; I just can't imagine the path from here to there. Nonetheless, in the spirit of play and faithfulness, I offer this version of the prayer, "You Alone Exist," in honor of Baba's birthday today.
Give it a listen -- you'll be happily surprised. Or offended, as the case may be. Depends upon how open your minds and hearts are.
