Live to Learn We sing this song at services at SRF. i remember only the one verse and then the chorus. Then we return back to the verse and chorus. If i ever hear more i will tell you. i think it is kept simple like most of Gurus chants: So that the words can be taken and spiritualized  with out a lot of mental effort.

If you are looking for something that stimulates the artistic and mental parts of your being you may not find it in many of Masters chants. They were used for devotion so that you could internalize and meditate afterwards. Quite frankly as a musician i find his chants boring. But that is not their purpose. i listen to music to be inspired. i listen to Masters chants to meditate. i hope this helps....Perhaps you may find interests compatible with your aspirations. Or you may eventually (if you have not already) pick up an instrument and start learning how to play. Someday you may even find that music comes with lyrics from the depths of your being. When this happens the need to use other peoples music dwindles....
