If you have a complicated question about life and living, they will always have a simple answer to it. Their simple and unpretentious teachings, not just entertain, they inspire. The Baal doesn't believe in the divisions that keep people away from each other. Perhaps the strongest aspect of the cult is its secularism and its simple but stubborn faith in love as the centre of the universe. Sushmi, a musician with the heart of an urban Baal, feels being a Baal is all about the faith in your ability to be detached and attached at the same time. Arge Kozodil, the Baal says, o all you Hindu, Christian and Muslim brothers, do not think the soul of divinity is fondness. The Baal's shahujia, or easy cult, offers a direct communion with the inner god, or moneer manush. No complicated rituals here, just looking at the world as one huge family of loved ones. The Baal cult draws upon a strong tradition of pantheism and secularism. It represents the spirit of protest against authoritarian religion in rural Bengal. Here is a philosophy of love and understanding, developed step by step over at least 700 years, if not more. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu from the 13th century is often considered the greatest known Baal singer. He travelled all over India and influenced generations of singers and poets. Legendary poet Joydeb is called the original Baal. He transformed the divine love of Radha and Krishna into love between human beings. The basic message that the Baals give you is that the only temple that is a real temple is the human body and the human soul is the controller of that temple and that is within you. You don't need to look outside yourself to pray and to be one with the universe because you are part of the universe and the centre of the universe can be there and nowhere else but inside you. Baals know that their culture is strong enough to wade through outside influences. The trick is to assimilate those influences and emerge stronger. The trick is to keep singing the love song of the world. After all, being a Baal is about erasing boundaries. It's about actively opposing all forms of man-made differences. The Baal is a mindset. It will stay perhaps in a different form and backdrop. That's because the Baals of Bengal don't just sing. They live their songs and when they sing the world listens. The world sings to their tune.
