Surrender to music

Crawling through music videos from recent malayalam movies is currently a habit and that is how I came back to this song. I am listening to the song over and over and over. I am not closely paying attention to the lyrics. The only word that has really registered in terms of it's factual meaning is the word 'Allah' . I am not a muslim and hence don't believe in Allah. I don't believe in God either. However, the surrender that this particular song as well as other songs of this genre brings has been very comforting. 

      At work, I have not had the best of the weeks last week and hence I had reached home pretty tired.  Listening to this song over and over has cleansed my psyche. I feel much much lighter. The question is what is going on here. It is not the words. It is not the concept of god and surrender to him. However, I believe it is the surrender element that the song embodies that is healing.
      The song seems to be telling me not to fight anything and let it all be. Let it all be. Just let it all be. Just let it all be. Give up. Don't fight it. Just give up. And when you give up and when you are not fighting, you are relaxed.
        Another song that has exactly the same result is 'Kun faya Kun' from Rockstar. To my spirit, there is hardly any difference between these two songs as I listen to them back to back.  It is indeed hard work to pretend and put up a brave face when you are breaking up within. It is dishonest and you know you are being dishonest in spirit. When you shed the farce, you are freed. You are freed from the pretence and you realize that the pretence is much bigger a burden than the pain.

 
        Some days are not really nice. Yet you come home and smile and play with your kids happily. That is hard work. You don't really have to do that if the day has not been nice. Surrender, solve. Do not pretend. Do not mask.
    What are you masking?  There is hardly anything specific. But somehow there still are some things within you that are sad, that need to be cleansed. Things you don't really realize. You don't even 'know' . Such songs clean you internally. You feel less and less light and finally you are clear, totally pure. Joy.
            The below song 'Khwaja mere Khwaja' again fits the bill. I have hardly any clue what the words mean. Yet I remember listening to the song days in days out. I think it is necessary to clean yourself up everyday. Working on a logical problem at work and failing at it scars you somewhere. Struggling to find the right solution probably strains you, winds you up and you do need to unwind periodically for smoother functioning.

Physically, I feel a coolness in my head. Tension has eased out of my head and my head ache is no longer there. And I am at peace. Daily cleansing of the mind and the spirit is fundamental. Music is truly out of this world.

Surrender.
