Comments on Songs

At a function on 7 April 2007, Sri Chinmoy made the following comments about the concept of freedom in the spiritual life, after the Singers performed the song “Give Me No Freedom.”

Our freedom is obedience, obedience. Our freedom is obedience to our Lord Beloved Supreme. If we obey Him, we become one with His Light, with His Consciousness, with His Universal Consciousness, and it is all freedom, freedom. The kind of freedom unaspiring human beings want is all bondage, bondage, bondage and self-destruction.

Sri Chinmoy offered these comments before the Singers performed the song “Jago Amar.”³⁰

This is one of my most sacred songs. On a very, very lofty plane of consciousness, I wrote the words, and also I set them to music in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

Please sing it as soulfully as possible. In my play about Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda is singing this song. It is a most sacred, inspiring and aspiring song.
