“The song is your soul. It is the spirit of the land. It must come from within. Sing loudly to show that you are indeed bravely alive and the land will become happy and plentiful. Sing softly and the chorus of many shall overcome you. The song of the caring heart will affect all those who listen and the people will come to live together in harmony with their land. The sound of no song is the sound of death. The land will then become barren. The people shall cry for they are indeed dead without their song.”

- Dhakkan’guini -
June 1938
