by Nayaswami Rambhakta<\/p>\n

Author\u2019s Note: <\/em>I wrote this to demonstrate an important spiritual principle: that God\u2019s guidance is always individual. In His efforts to bring us into ever-greater happiness and freedom from suffering, God is wonderfully creative in the way He makes use of the resources at hand. – Rambhakta<\/p>\n

I showered and shaved<\/strong> and strolled to the Ananda community\u2019s music studio to sing, arriving at 4:15 a.m. I felt awful \u2013 it was something I\u2019d eaten. My body was dragging and I wasn\u2019t certain how long I\u2019d be able to sing.<\/p>\n

I opened the forScore app and decided that it would make sense to choose short, peppy songs to boost my energy.<\/p>\n

As often happens when I offer my practice to God, my eyes lit on a song that I wouldn\u2019t have thought of choosing: \u201cCherry Blossoms in Kyoto.\u201d<\/p>\n

I sang the melody and harmony several times with genuine pleasure. As with all of Swami Kriyananda\u2019s music, it carried an undercurrent of joy. Cherry Blossoms is sweet and innocent \u2013 my spirits were lifted.<\/p>\n

Here is the remainder of the morning\u2019s playlist, as I followed the natural inclination of my heart.<\/p>\n

Be Free Inside<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fischerweise<\/strong> (\u201cThe Fisherman\u2019s Ditty\u201d \u2013 a song by Franz Schubert with lyrics by his friend Franz von Schlechta).<\/p>\n

This song needs a bit of explanation. I first heard it in the Robert Downey, Jr. film Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows<\/em>, where Sherlock Holmes visits the villain, Professor Moriarty, in his University of Cambridge study, and a recording of Fischerweise plays in the background.<\/p>\n

The two antagonists exchange barbed remarks over the closing line: \u201cGib auf nur deine T\u00fccke \u2013 den Fisch betr\u00fcgst du nicht!\u201d <\/em>(\u201cGive up your clever trickery \u2013 you will not fool the fish!\u201d) You can watch Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau sing it wonderfully on YouTube here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The melody is delightful and the words are sweet \u2013 it\u2019s a cheerful, happy tune. I had felt that it was chosen for me by Swamiji, who was always very much in favor of happiness and good cheer.<\/p>\n

A Vedic astrologer had told me I\u2019d been under heavy Saturn influences for fifty years, from age thirteen to sixty-three. Swamiji often tried to help me see the happy side of the spiritual life. He would make absurd jokes, for example \u2013 as when he said to me, \u201cRambhakta, do you think Roy Guggggggliotta eats lasagggggna?\u201d Roy\u2019s name is pronounced \u201cGulliotta\u201d in Italian, without the hard \u201cg\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

I remember a letter I received from Brother Bhaktananda in the late 1960s, in which he urged me to temper my over-serious approach. \u201cLearn to relax and enjoy the spiritual path,\u201d he said. At the time, my fear was that if I relaxed I might slip off the path forever.<\/p>\n

When it came to deciding if I should include Fischerweise in my practice, I felt some trepidation, as I didn\u2019t want to wander too far from the spiritual purpose of my singing.<\/p>\n

For months Divine Mother had awakened me at 4 a.m., often when I would have preferred to sleep in. Formerly, I had chanted in the morning, but\u00a0 had begun to sense a change in the air, and when I held up the idea of singing Ananda\u2019s songs, the guidance that came surprised me \u2013 I felt that I was being urged to sing the melodies that Swamiji had written for Shakespeare\u2019s lyrics. I loved the songs, but I\u2019d considered them a light diversion, and not part of the \u201cserious\u201d Ananda music canon.<\/p>\n

Yet I soon noticed that I was becoming a more cheerful, upbeat and happy person. I discovered that the songs held the same nectar as the Ananda \u201cheavy hitters\u201d \u2013 the Oratorio, the spiritual folk songs (\u201cCome Gather Round,\u201d etc.), and the serious singles: \u201cTo Death I\u2019m a Stranger,\u201d \u201cLife Flows On,\u201d \u201cThrough All Trials,\u201d \u201cI Live Without Fear.\u201d.<\/p>\n

At any rate, I felt that Fischerweise deserved a place in my \u201cSweetness\u201d folder. Here\u2019s the rest of the morning\u2019s repertoire:<\/p>\n

Free At Last<\/strong> (A wonderful song from The Peace Treaty.)<\/p>\n

Give Me A Light<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invocation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of His Dreams<\/strong> (A seldom-sung children\u2019s song.)<\/p>\n

All That Glisters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, Mistress Mine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spring Song<\/strong> (The lyrics are worldly, but it\u2019s a hoot to sing!)<\/p>\n

Under The Greenwood Tree<\/strong> (A song I resisted singing but felt I should, finding it eventually immensely cheering.)<\/p>\n

When I Was A Boy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where The Bee Sucks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Secret of Laughter<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSecret of Laughter\u201d took me over the hill. I had wanted to dedicate part of my practice to sending positive vibrations as a counter to the riots that were gripping the nation, and Secret of Laughter stepped up. As I sang, I was filled with a joy that spread to bless the air. I imagined it spreading over all of northern California and then beyond. Swami Kriyananda often said that Ananda\u2019s greatest service to the world is not to convert others or beat them with our beliefs, but quietly and simply to radiate God\u2019s love to all.<\/p>\n

Later, when I sat to meditate, I felt God using me as a conduit for His bliss, which I felt was the answer to negativity in all its forms, and the most effective way to heal hearts gripped by anger.<\/p>\n

My heart flowed also with blessings for America, whose heart is expressed not by its politicians or those who offer outrage without solutions, but by its everyday spiritual warriors, present in every town, who offer their lives lovingly to effect lasting good and peace for all.<\/p>\n

After singing Swamiji\u2019s music for several years, I again felt a change was in order. When I asked inwardly, \u201cWhat\u2019s next?\u201d I heard Swamiji\u2019s voice very clearly and amusingly: \u201cI don\u2019t want to hear any music coming out of that studio in the morning but chanting!\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s another story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
