Lyrics

That [repeat]

And fathers flatter themselves as is saying dadda it's not saying that
Pointing to thatness and everything
It's very important to see this because everything says that

That [repeat]

I can say it in a negative way which you won't appreciate at first perhaps
Everything is meaningless
Everything is meaningless
Only words have meaning because they point to something other than themselves
The sound of water is undrinkable
But it points to the drinkable reality
The Hinduism speaks off the Godhead as uses the word Brahman
This is a neuter form in Sanskrit from the root bleak which means to grow to expand to swell
The neuter form Brahman does not have quite the connotation that you see of kingship
That we will find attached to the western idea of God
But is also referred to Atman
And this word we translate ordinarily the self
So, you can have the Para
Paramatman which means the Para the supreme self
Or sometimes just the Atman alone
And that means the self in you

But the fundamental principle of Indian philosophy is Atman is Brahman
Yourself is the supreme self
If a beautiful lady should say to me
I love you
And I was to reply are you serious or are you just playing with me
That would be quite the wrong response
Because I hope she's not serious and that she will play with me
I should say are you sincere or are you just toying
Because you see the word play has many different stints
A person who is playing the organ in church is certainly not doing something trivial
When you go to see a play called Hamlet, you're not seeing something trivial
When the concert artist plays notes art, he is certainly entertaining you but it's not a trivial entertain
But on the other hand, we would use play in a different sense when we mean just fooling around
Doing it for kicks
So also, music is a kind of non-purposive thing
Because you don't either play music to reach a destination
Nor do you dance to reach a particular place on the floor
It is the doing of it itself that is important

Music it is the doing of it itself that is important
Music it is the doing of it itself that is important
Music it is the doing of it itself that is important
Music it is the doing of it itself that is important
Play [repeat]
The self has thus the capacity to abandon itself to forget itself to hide from itself
This to make the most completely convincing illusion
But in play
And so, the activity of the creative activity of the Godhead in Hindus is called Leela
Which means play
Play
Our word lilt is related to it I think

But so also in the book of Proverbs you will find a discourse being given by the divine wisdom
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways before his works of old
Its delight was to rejoice the King James Bible says in the presence of God and with the sons of men
But the Hebrew translated rejoice says play
Play
Play
