The Music of the Spheres
By this title I do not mean to encourage any superstition, or any
idea that might attract people into fields of curiosity. My aim
is to direct the attention of those who search for truth towards
the law of music which is working throughout the universe, and which
in other words may be called the law of life; the sense of proportion,
the law of harmony, the law which brings about balance, the law
which is hidden behind all aspects of life; which holds this universe
intact and works out the destiny of the whole universe, fulfilling
its purpose.
There are many in the world who look for wonders; if one only noticed
how many wonders there are in this world, which is all phenomena!
The deeper one sees into life, the wider life opens itself to one,
and every moment of one’s life then becomes full of wonders
and full of splendour.
What we call music in our everyday language is only a miniature,
which our intelligence has grasped from that music or harmony of
the whole universe which is working behind everything, and which
is the source and origin of nature. It is because of this that the
wise of all ages have considered music to be a sacred art. For in
music the seer can see the picture of the whole universe; and the
wise can interpret the secret and the nature of the working of the
whole universe in the realm of music.
