38 Nitin Sawney and Nicky Wells, Al Muqsit (The Equitable)

2008

Its been one of those days today where I have just been trying to find all Prince songs on Youtube and awe at his talents. Along the way I was reminded of Nitin Sawney so started to watch some of his videos. (I love the above video!). Then I just found myself being captured by Nicky Wells. I mean she's singing classical indian lyrics. My head just couldn't get around that and I have to admit I am jealous. How come some people are just so gifted?

Indian-British artist Nitin Sawhney is considered a musical pioneer for his mix of south Asian musical influences with electronica and other genres, like jazz, hip hop, and flamenco. Expect a global melting pot on KCRW when he performs for the very first time on Morning Becomes Eclectic.

According to my source the 85th Name Al Muqit is the ultimate divine cause that ensures all gifts are apportioned in a just and equitable way. Since the way that gifts are given does not appear to be just at all, this just apportionment is the case even though we may not know it. It does not always come to you with the knowledge that your need has been satisfied. Allah makes each person’s lot in life a portion of subsistence and makes it little or much according to the divine purpose, which may be hidden from our view.

I understand above to mean, ask and believe in what you ask, and it will be given. If you ask but do not believe it will happen that stops the flow of things coming to you or the knowledge of why it is the way it is. In my own practise I have witnessed the hidden becoming visible to my eye and my own abundance showing itself in a glimmer. But as I get distracted from my own inner being and want what others have I loose it all. I found the teachings of Abraham Hick's make this so clear without which the above name would be so hard for me to grasp. I also have loved learning recently that everyone is a genius. According to Robert Kiyosaki (in his Rich Dad series) he discussed 12 different genius. Everyone has at least 4. The kolbe index has been designed to help you find what your genius is. Something I found helpful knowing and is a tool to focus back into you. In the meantime I can still admire Nikki and ask myself what it is exactly my inner being is calling me too. Does anyone else get what I'm saying here?

Nadia is a song about two lovers on opposite ends of the river. The song is almost like someone calling across the river. Based on a thumri, this track is about how the river has become the enemy as it is keeping the lovers apart. Nitin's original version didn't have any bass but was electronica-heavy.
