An epic poem by Francis Brabazon.

This newest Fourth Edition, published by Avatars Abode, was edited with minor corrections by Ward Parks. Ward wrote the new introduction entitled “The Writing of Stay with God: A Brief History” and the “Glossary”.
Before leaving Australia, after His 1956 visit, Meher Baba told Francis to write a simple book for beginners on the spiritual path. Although not as simple as Baba had intended, He was very pleased with it, and said it was second in importance only to God Speaks, and that everyone should have 2 copies—one for themselves and one to give away (or loan out). Baba had this book read to Him three times, saying He was memorizing it, so that when He came again He would be quoting from Brabazon instead of Hafiz as He had done throughout this advent. It is indeed beautiful writing and it is easy to see why Francis is known as “Baba’s Poet.”
