Baba's Name

 

BABA'S NAME: A DITTY

Bobbi Bernstein 2016, 2021

The Mandali often told us 
Take Baba’s name night and day.
Breathe  "BA...BA.." in and out. 

I say, first it's work, but soon it's play!

 

chorus:

Oh, Meher Baba, what more can I do?

Repeating Your name constantly

Will deepen my love for you.

BABA BABA BABA BABA.

 

Problems can feel overwhelming
When we try to fight fire with fire.
Remembering  to take Meher Baba's name
Will free us from the muck and the mire!

 

chorus

 

Our thoughts can make us crazy
Quite glum, or just plain mad!
Saying His name over and over again
Brings relief from everything bad!

 

chorus

 

Meher Baba compared this practice
To wearing a mosquito net.
Thoughts can buzz and buzz around us
But to our skin they cannot get!

 

chorus

 

The more we say the name, BABA
We then feel His Love so strong.
That's how we wake Him up in our hearts
Where He was sleeping all along!

 

last chorus:

BABA BABA BABA BABA BA

Repeating Your name constantly

Will deepen my love for You. 3x

BABA BABA BABA BABA.
