“In the Baul songs, the main thing is that you have different aspects (tattvas) which will give you some insight and also an element to meditate on.

So as a music it is very complete, but it has another extra quality which crosses all the other aspects of music… Music is also scholarship. So it crosses the scholarship and it merges into your spiritual practice.

By repeating the songs - you have to repeat many, many times - then what will happen: you will start realizing the sound that is hidden in the song. And that sound will resonate inside you.

So the first thing that should happen to us is a healing process in us.

The sound is a great healing.

You must have heard all this healing with sound. But your own sound is the medicine. The medicine is right here, you don’t have to go anywhere. It is in your body. 

It is right there in you. You just have to wake it up.

So sing and sing and sing and sing…

Only by singing you will really realize this sound inside you.

It will come, the naad, true naad.”
