Music and Sadhana [5]

You can learn the song and sing — do it as Mother’s work without desire, such as even the wish to sing before her — but simply as something to be done for her service.

Only you must not allow it to interfere with your painting which is your main work — that in which you are making much progress. That you must go on doing every day.
