‘Ami Doob Dilam Na’ conveys resistance against the pull of love and devotion, symbolised by the River, and talks about how we refrain from fully immersing ourselves in it, despite having the desire. The song draws parallels between the lotus, representing beauty and purity, both in water and on land, and the understanding of love's essence by a perceptive bee, contrasting it with the ignorance of a beetle. The song makes us contemplate the profound death of Chandi Das and Rajakini, renowned eternal lovers, and questions who could experience such a remarkable fate. Ultimately, the song highlights one’s fears about detaching oneself from the mirage of temporal bonds and diving head-on into the spiritual path towards Divinity, thus suggesting a reluctance to face the potential hardships.

Bauls are a group of wandering mystical minstrels of Bengal. This community started with the largest Cultural Revolution in the history of human civilization, the Bhakti Movement led by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Their syncretic traditions are the outcome of a culmination of Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism. Baul Music and Philosophy are deeply intertwined, with the Music serving as a medium for expressing and exploring our inner-self and the world around us, in search of the Divine. They also emphasize the importance of love, compassion, and tolerance, and reject distinctions based on caste, religion, or social status. Duality is a common theme in Baul song lyrics, with allegorical narratives using metaphors. ‘Deho-tatva’ – a recurring premise in Baul lyrics – is a concept of portraying nature and the universe through our bodies, which reflects the immortality of the cycle of life and death. It connects sex and spirituality – spiritual union of the individual with the Divine - to attain Moksha.
