"Veenā vādana tattvagnyaḥ śruti, jāti, viśaradaḥ
tālagnyaścāprayāsena mokśa mārgaṃ niyacchati"Yajnavalkya in his 'smriti' (literature on music) says - The one who is well versed in veena, who has the knowledge of musical tones and adept in rhythm - would attain salvation effortlessly.
Self - realization cannot be reduced to a biological function. A Sādhaka [an aspirant who puts efforts], may fail in arriving at this highest goal, using merely the intellect. Whereas, putting on the dancing bells - the Ghungroos or Salangai, the efforts get beautifully simplified. The music starts, the movement gathers momentum, accelerates and one cannot hold on to any gnawing desire any further as one merges like the wave would do, with the ocean. The feet act instinctively, spontaneously, the tinkling bells ring loud on their divine journey, like the bells at the altar.
The biological heart no longer belonged to the dancer as he became someone else, felt the character within the role-playing, to perform myriad emotions. As he kept fleeting across the entire being, he swung his arms delicately, turned to strike a pose, swirled, stretched and stamped his feet swiftly in perfect rhythm, enacting the moods and stories.
