Let us look at two songs - both very popular - from Indian movies: (1) Ek, do teen.... char paan, che, saat, aath, nau, das gyarah... from Ram Lakhan (lyricist: Sameer) (2) Humne dekhi hai in aankhon ki mehakti khushboo.. from Khamoshi (lyricist: Gulzar) Popularity besides, which song do you think is more profound? But more important than that is to know.... why? Why does one song - or creation - sound more profound than the other? Have you ever thought of it? Listen to these two songs and see which song leaves you with a string of thoughts and takes you down a lane of further and amazing thoughts and insights. In fact, if you dwell on the second song for just 10 minutes, you probably are more likely to take the road that the poet, Gulzar, himself may have taken to REACH those lines. While the first song, is just that.. the first thought that came in a poet's mind.. the first unsophisticated words without much thought. So, what is said is important, but what the poet REJECTED enroute to those words is CRITICAL. The more "lower level" thoughts that one traverses, the more sophisticated and profound the thinking is likely to be. Also, by the same principle, it also stands to reason that once you read or think of things that are profound, the chances are that the writer would have made enough progress on the thinking (road) leading up to that.
