“These songs are maha mantras.
And if you practice them very well, then everything that you need to grow in the path, to grow in the song, it will come to you, because the Masters are watching you.
When you take their song, they will take care of you that you grow
- not only singing, also the inside, both.”
“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…
It crosses the scholarship and merges into your spiritual practice.
By repeating the songs 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 is a healing process in us.
The sound is a great healing...
Your own sound is the medicine.
The medicine is right here, you don’t have to go anywhere. It is in your body...
You just have to wake it up.
So sing and sing and sing and sing…
By singing you will really realize this sound inside you.
It will come, the naad - true naad.”
