The Tanpura’s Sound- pure and resonating.
It begins and ends the breath. It fills all that which seems unfulfilled. Any music created is a further enhancement of this core sound emanating from the tanpura.
Putting eye drops for Baba (that is how we call guruji just like all the other students), massaging his head until he falls asleep. Nothing seems odd, out of place or a burden. Here we have to keep patiently trying and just wait for the music to sink in. That is what ‘Time’ is for. All these days, Time seemed to enslave me. I could never over power it, I could not come to terms with it. Here there is no ‘Time’ but the movement of music and the rhythm of the beats. It is “here”. I feel very much part of the “now”. I do not feel a hurry. I do not feel like I am late. The truth of what exists is strong and it just moves.’
