Music is the way to find God

When Inderpreet Singh sings Maan’s Ki Banu Dunia Da, the veteran singer enjoys it so much that he shares a beautiful and important line. He says that music is the way to connect with the Supreme Power. He tells Inderpreet, “Meri aatma, teri aatma de vicho boli… te mainu ta paramatma da darshan ho gaye. Sangeet hi zariya hi hai us nu paun da, aur kuch nahi.

The importance of being humble

While discussing another music legend, Mohammad Rafi, Gurdas says that he never lets anyone else greet him before he has greeted them first. Gurdas explains this logic in beautiful lines: “Sab sochte hai aksar ki phele salaam main kyu karu, main kisi se kam nahi, main kisi se kyu darru. Pheli salaam hi darasal us rab nu manzoor hai. Dusri toh dusri…pheli se kauso door hai”. What he means is that one needs to be humble to prosper in life.

Be a good listener first

Many of us think that we are something special, and tend to get lost in our ego. There are aspiring singers out there who are waiting for that one lucky break, so this is a piece of advice for them. Gurdas says that one needs to flexible enough to listen to others and enjoy the competition, only then they can be a good singer. “Kade assi aap gaane ya, te log sunde ne. Kade assi aap sun rehe ya aur sunnan da nazara le reya ya. Jis nu sunna nahi aaunda… oh ki gaaouga.”
