Sri Chinmoy commented later that day:
“Dear ones, if you can sing this song once a week, I shall be very grateful to you. Do not worry about your musical capacity. Even if you make mistakes, no harm. And if you can sing the song three times every day — it can be all at the same time or at three different times — I shall be very grateful to you and I shall be very, very, very, very — a million times — proud of you. This will definitely help you in your life of aspiration.”
