The Whole Universe is Summed Up
In answer to the question as to what is the experience of those
who dive deep into life, and who touch the depth within, Hafiz has
said, ‘It is not known how far is the destination, but so much
I know, that music from afar is coming to my ears.’ The music
of the spheres, according to the point of view of the mystic, is
like the lighthouse in the port that a man sees from the sea, which
tells him that he is coming nearer to his destination. What music
may this be? If there were no harmony in the essence of life, life
would not have created harmony in this world of variety. And man
would not have longed for something which was not in his spirit.
Everything in this world which seems to lack harmony is in reality
the limitation of man’s own vision. The wider the horizon of
his observation becomes, the more harmony of life he enjoys. In
the very depth of man’s being the harmony of the working of
the whole universe is summed up in a perfect music. Therefore the
music of the spheres is the music which is the source of creation,
the music which is heard while travelling towards the goal of all
creation. And it is heard and enjoyed by those who touch the very
depth of their own lives.
