Songs on the Tablet of Your Heart

Those who are learning the songs I have composed on this trip, each time a group learns any song, at least for three months, if not six months, please remember the song. If you cannot remember a song for three consecutive months, then you are learning like a parrot. Today you learn ten songs. Then when you learn another ten, you completely forget the previous ones. That is of no use.

For a minimum of three months if you can remember the songs that you have learned, then it will make me happy. Otherwise, you will study 20 or 30 songs at a time, practise and practise, and then the following week you will have completely forgotten them. Then it is of no use. That will not give me any joy.

Some special songs like Jiban Debata and others that you like very much have to be inside your heart, on the tablet of your heart forever. Other excellent songs, at least for five or six years you can remember them. Then at any moment, if you read the music, you can revive it. But the songs that you are learning here, 50 or 60 songs, each group please, please try to remember them for three months at least. Otherwise, I compose the songs and you learn them; you make me happy, and you become happy and proud that you have learned them. But then if you forget the previous ones, it is not a happy experience for me.

All those who learn my songs – 50, 60 or 200 songs, like Kailash’s group – please learn those songs with the idea that you will remember most of the songs for a long time. It is impossible to remember 200 or 400 songs, but there should be quite a few songs that you keep in your memory for a long time. I am very happy that many of the groups are singing very, very soulfully and perfectly.
