«There exists in the East a legend which relates that God made a statue of clay in His own image, and asked the soul to enter into it. But the soul refused to enter into this prison, for its nature is to fly about freely, and not be limited and bound to any sort of captivity. The soul did not wish in the least to enter this prison. Then God asked the angels to play their music and, as the angels played, the soul was moved to ecstasy. Through that ecstasy - in order to make this music more clear to itself- it entered this body.»
«It is a beautiful legend, and much more so is its mystery. The interpretation of this legend explains to us two great laws. One is that freedom is the nature of the soul, and for the soul the whole tragedy of life is the absence of that freedom which belongs to its original nature. The next mystery that this legend reveals to us is that the only reason why the soul has entered the body of clay or matter is to experience the music of life, and to make this music clear to itself. And when we sum up these two great mysteries, the third mystery, which is the mystery of all mysteries, comes to our mind: that the unlimited part of ourselves becomes limited and earthbound for the purpose of making this life, which is the outward life, more intelligible. Therefore there is one loss and one gain. The loss is the loss of freedom, and the gain is the experience of life which is fully gained by coming to this limitation of life which we call the life of an individual.»

"There are three things in the world that are hidden from sigh:
The thing we call god, that is never born an does not die, no one has seen it.
Like no one has seen sound, you can only feel it.
Like the wind you can only feel..."
"Swar ans Iswar are the same, if you know one, you know the other."
Ustad Zia Fariddudin Dagar

“Without Spiritual help, music has no effect.
Spiritual help is neccesary for the musician.”
“Raga is a living soul...
And Raga is always in between the notes...
Notes help to make the Raga...
because like you are breathing.. the body is a note you suppose,
and breath is the raga...
And every breath has a different feeling...
So, this is the meaning of Raga”
