Rahmanism.com : 01-03-2009 CNN-IBN Interview with Veeraraghav TM

Part 8 Transcript

YG Parthasarathy: recently I met him at Rajnikant's house and we had all gone there for a dinner, he was also there and he said something that was extraordinary, he said that," you know it is in this school that I learnt that when you point a finger at somebody, there are three fingers that are pointing at you and one finger towards God, so remember that and don't accuse others before or blame others for what may be your own responsibility and have trust in God , I think when he said this, I was astounded, I don't know how many of my students have learnt this moral value, so well as he has.

AR Rahman: I love, with love as my foundation and that's why i said, i was given the choice of hate and love and i chose love which came from the heart because every stage i had to put those lenses of love and see things.

Veeraraghav TM: So you still believe in the power above? Beyond us

AR Rahman: that's the only power which is there because we go, that's eternal, we are, you know model..

Veeraraghav TM: And how does that power reflect in your music?

AR Rahman: It makes me feel, I don't feel selfish, I don't feel jealous, I feel that if I am destined for this thing it will get to me. I don't have to lust on anything and I am already blesses with so many things that I do not deserve

[looktook1]

ar raham is true muslim...muslims are top in india

[mastamase]

this is true....even as dilip he would of been as successfull....

[mastamase]

this is very true....

[DTBSAI]

illayaraja was also his mentor so thanks to him too.

[DTBSAI]

simple and down to earth are meaningless idealistic words my friend. He is a devout muslim convert and it is sad to see that religion is being given credit or being used to be politically correct. when you learn some astronomy and how vast the universe is, and that the earth is only a speck of dust on a sunbeam, it is a far more humbling experience than any of this religious nonsense.

[muthumaricute]

he know there is no God....he just says that always because he doesnt want to take credit for everything he achieved...its just to reduce his burdens and feel down to earth...thats why he is always simple and down to earth ....did u get it, this i came to know from his sisters interview

[venumon8]

he should thkful for his dad but not ilayaraaja.

[DTBSAI]

There is no proof of any personal god or divine being. It is just human ego and self importance that makes a successful person believe that god has blessed him or that he is special to god. give your self and your late father more credit Dilip.

[DTBSAI]

Great Musician but full of blind faith which is unrelated to his success. Even as  Dilip he would have made music anyway. Maybe he should thank his late father Sekhar and Illayaraja too. Thats where he got his musical talent from.
