281_Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Today's word is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
"To be a qawwal is more than being a performer, more than being an artist. One must be willing to release one's mind and soul from one's body to achieve ecstasy through music. Qawwali is enlightenment itself."
"To be a qawwal is more than being a performer, more than being an artist. One must be willing to release one's mind and soul from one's body to achieve ecstasy through music. Qawwali is enlightenment itself."
"Sufi music tries to banish the hatred living within all human beings. It
does not belong to any one culture, but to all of us. It stands for
bhaichara. The great Sufis have said that there is no value in namaz if
your soul is not clean, no value of bathing in the Ganga, if your
thoughts are impure. God is to be achieved through love. Mohabbat (love)
is the ultimate reality."
~ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
