1989-10-28 о балансе в музыке (Montecatini Terme, Italy)

...We have to know that a balanced personality has to be achieved. You have to have creativity. Creativity is there, of course, works out through your Kundalini the creativity comes up, but you must have the technique to express it. And the third thing is the sweetness, the understanding, or I would say the rapport with the audience: where to pull which string that we call mindkaris, you see. And especially, his notes are not full, there are two missing, I think, in his sitar which I saw [Shri Mataji laughs]. Without that how he pulls it up and plays. And the son, also, has a good way of playing with three fingers, I saw was a different style. It will be very appealing to you people, because that creates mirth. So, we should go to the essence of it and see for ourselves and not worry as to what is the tala, what is the raga, what is this. That’s not for us, for Sahaja Yogis. We have to just enjoy without reacting to it, in thoughtless awareness. Just enjoy the whole creativity, not to worry too much about what is the raga is, what is the note is. Now, for example, he played a very, I would say, a very unique type of Bhairavi. He’s brought everything, every style like, ‘tapasya’ was also there a little bit, that we saw. [Shri Mataji laughs] And I mean, it is really, I’ve never heard such a thing before. So, it’s a very unique style of creating like this. And as long as you are creating newer and newer things, without compromising with the, say, our system of raga type.
