Maai: A restless mind simple cannot sing Khayal music with depth and authenticity. To worship every note, every microtone, your mind has to be pure and unblemished. What is Khayal? It is the state of mind of the singer at that time, in that particular moment. He presents that state through the medium of a Raag. While singing, you yourself don't know which new aspect of the Raag you will uncover.

Not everyone has the inherent discipline and faith required for this
