"Once Emperor Akbar asked his court musician how would he account for the fact that a wayside
beggar's music moved him more profoundly than the music of the state musician. The latter
replied that while the beggar sang from his heart to please God, his music was constrained by the
desire to please the Emperor.
You should sing wholeheartedly with the desire to please God. God makes no distinction
between a proficient musician and a beggar in the street. It is the devotion and sincerity that
matter. Merge your soul in the bhajans you sing. Spiritualise your bhajan-singing. Then you will
experience real bliss."
