O ESSENCE OF NEGLIGENCE! 
Myriads of mystic tongues find utterance 
in one speech, 

and myriads of hidden mysteries are revealed 
in a single melody; 

yet, alas, there is no ear to hear, nor heart to understand.

LYRICS/QUOTE IN ENGLISH:

O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions!

Verily, I beseech Thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.

O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount.

LYRICS/QUOTE:

Kei tōku Atua! e Koe te poumuru i te hara te kaituku i ngā tākoha, te kaiwhakaora o ngā mate! 

Tūturu, ko tāku inoi ki a Koe kia murua ngā hara o te hunga kua whakarere i te kākahu kikokiko kua piki ake ki te ao wairua. 

Kei tōku Atua! Kia horoia rātou i ngā hara, kia mahea ō rātou pōkē, kia tahurihia tō rātou pōuriuri ki te māramarama. Meinga rātou kia uru ki roto ki te kāri o te harakoa, horoia rātou ki te wai parakore, tukua rātou kia kite i Ō ahurei i runga o te maunga teitei rawa.

A community based project aimed at elevating the station of the arts and raising consciousness.

"Whatever is in the heart of man, melody moves and awakens. If a heart full of good feelings and a pure voice are joined together, a great effect is produced. For instance: if there be love in the heart, through melody, it will increase until its intensity can scarcely be borne; but if bad thoughts are in the heart, such as hatred, it will increase and multiply..."       - Baha'i Writings
