In this conversation, we explore the deeper journey behind music, spirituality, awareness, desire, simplicity and personal evolution. The discussion begins with a question about musical practice how practice changes as an artist grows but gradually moves into something much larger. Music becomes an extension of the self, a constant inner companion and, eventually, a spiritual journey. We also speak about returning from the United States, caring for parents, early musical influences and gurus, the role of simplicity in life, and the difference between suppressing desire and transcending it. A central theme of the conversation is awareness: understanding where we are, questioning ourselves, and continuously examining whether we are actually moving in the direction we believe we are moving.
