“My mother's belief in spiritual healers grew stronger after our family...” — A. R. Rahman Quote

“My mother's belief in spiritual healers grew stronger after our family went through a rough patch following my father's death. Sufi saint Karimullah Shah Kadri changed our lives, and all of us converted to Sufism. But it wasn't an instantaneous decision - it took us 10 years to convert. The change in religion was like washing away the past.”

“I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.”

“Every time I sit for a song, I feel I am finished. It's like a beggar sitting waiting for God to fill your bowl with the right thought. In every song, I ask help from Him. Everybody around is so good, so to create music that will connect with so many people is not humanly possible without inspiration.”

“I'd always written how grief was hollow. How it was a vast cavern of nothing.”

“Try to remember some details. For the world”

“Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him.”
