If you practice for ten years, you may begin to please yourself, after 20 years you may become a performer and please the audience, after 30 years you may please even your guru, but you must practice for many more years before you finally become a true artist -- then you may please even God.

Thank you so much for this memorial to one of the world's great artists (and the links to his fine music).
I fell under his spell in undergraduate school when I took a political science course in Indian culture where his music was played and discussed, and then got to see "Concert for Bangladesh" later that year. (H/T to George!)
The New York Times has a lovely piece as well.
Happy Father's Day!
