The Oscillator

Welcome, dear listeners, to another journey into the timeless wisdom of the Bauls.
Today, we explore a song that is not just music—it is a philosophy, a call to awaken the human spirit.

Take a moment. Imagine a wandering mystic, barefoot, carrying only an ektara, singing under the open sky. His voice rises above the noise of society, asking: If you wish to be human, then learn humanity first.

Shob loke koy, Lalon ki jat shongshare..
Once, a mystic of Bengal sat beneath the open sky, gazing at the endless horizon.His name was Fakir Lalon Shah — a man without possessions, without boundaries, without fear.
He looked at the world around him — divided by caste, religion, and pride —and he asked, in a voice both gentle and defiant:“Shob loke koy, Lalon ki jat shongshare?”“All the people ask — what caste is Lalon in this world?”

Ami opar hoye bosa achi…”“I sit on the other shore.”
This is not the shore of land and water.It is the unseen bank between being and becoming,between illusion and awakening.Here, Lalon sits — not in pride, not in sorrow —but in patient awareness.
He looks upon the restless crowd on the near shore —men and women hurrying, quarreling, praying, seeking —and he smiles.

There are songs that speak not merely to the ear, but to the soul.Songs that rise beyond melody and rhythm—songs that become questions.Questions about who we are, and who we could be.

There are some words that are not meant to be sung — they are meant to be felt.They rise not from the tongue, but from the trembling depth of the heart.Among those rare voices that teach us to feel rather than to think, stands the mystic of Bengal — Fakir Lalon Shah.
He spoke no grand philosophy.He carried no scriptures.And yet, in a few lines of his song, he could unravel the mystery of the universe.

In the quiet corners of the human heart, there lives a longing — ancient, wordless, unending.It is not the longing for wealth, nor fame, nor comfort.It is the longing to see — to see the face behind the veil of existence.
Centuries ago, on the soil of Bengal, a wandering mystic named Fakir Lalon Shah gave voice to that longing.He sang, in the simplest of words:“Tomare dekhibar mone chai” — My heart longs to see You.

There are moments in life when every step feels uncertain —when even the path we once trusted seems to fade beneath our feet.It is then that the ancient question returns,as old as the first human breath:“What am I seeking?”Centuries ago, on the banks of the Padma,a wandering soul named Fakir Lalon Shah asked that same question.He did not ask it from a throne, or from the pages of any scripture.He asked it barefoot, under the open sky,with nothing but an ektara in his hand and silence in his heart.

Lalon never looked at the world merely as soil, trees, or sky.To him, Earth was a mirror—a grand stage where the human soul appears, dances briefly,and disappears without leaving a trace.And so, when we speak of a world full of prosperity,are we speaking of fields full of golden rice?Or the flowering of consciousness inside the human heart?

Tuesday Dec 09, 2025

Dear listeners…Tonight we enter a realm where words dissolve into feelings,where the human heart becomes a universe of untold stories—a realm Lalon Fakir walked through barefoot,with a smile on his lipsand an ocean of sorrow hidden behind his eyes.
