mellowing and infusing

ਰਸਾਉਣਾ: To infuse something with nectar or sweetness. In Indian music contexts, it means to fill one’s hands or voice with sweetness and resonance slowly and without force. It allows us to imbue our action with emotion and depth without the separating wall of mechanical tension.

This concepts follows everywhere. We try to do too much, and it comes out half-hearted and empty. To truly get into something, we should start exactly where we are. We should expand slowly.

First, be conscious of what you are doing. Fill the act, without forcing yourself past our ability, with yourself. And then slowly take steps to expand.
