Qawwali is just power- power of music. grand and deliberative yet respectful and solemn. I like how it embodies contrasting ideas but presents a whole unified philosophy about truth, love, spirit, the Almighty. I don't know urdu, which means i lose out on the nuanced meanings, the subtleties of what is said. but i don't let that dampen my enthusiasm. for some joys are just unadulterated pleasures. nothing but bliss. language or words have nothing to do with it. even if i was deaf, blind and mute, it would still reverberate in my body, my soul. that is what music does to you. opens your pores and let's you soak in the nectar. oh! the sweetest thing
