'''''You Alone Exist''''' is a prayer poem describing the unlimited attributes of God. Dictated by [[Meher Baba]] during 1959-1962 to his close disciple Bhau Kalchuri, the prayer-poem expressively describes the all-pervading nature of [[God]] through many attributes, from simple to sublime.<ref>{{Cite web |title=You Alone Exist by Meher Baba, composed by Jim Meyer |url=https://meherbababooks.com/products/you-alone-exist-dvd-by-meher-baba-composed-by-jim-meyer |website=Meher Baba Books |access-date=2024-02-09 |archive-date=2023-10-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231003001736/https://meherbababooks.com/products/you-alone-exist-dvd-by-meher-baba-composed-by-jim-meyer |url-status=live }}</ref> <br />
