Maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan, renowned for his shehnai playing, believed music offered a path to inner peace and healing. He stated that one cannot hold both musical ragas and regrets simultaneously in their mind. Khan suggested that deep engagement with meaningful activities like music allows the mind to dissolve suffering by focusing on beauty, structure, and rhythm, rather than dwelling on past hurts. This immersion acts as a form of meditation, displacing sorrow.
