Music is Even Greater Than Heaven
What secret is there in music which attracts all those who listen to it? It
is the rhythm which is being created. It is the tone of that music
which tunes a soul and raises it above depression and despair of
everyday life in this world. And if one knew what rhythm was needed
for a particular individual in his trouble and despair, what tone
was needed, and to what pitch that person’s soul should be
raised, one would then be able to heal him with music.
One might ask why it is, if music is rhythm, that so often musicians
are temperamental and easily disturbed. But is it not beautiful
to have a little temperament? Life is unmusical when there is no
temperament. A person who does not get angry once in a while does
not live. It is human to have all kinds of minor faults, the joy
is in overcoming these faults. Music is not all sadness. There are
higher octaves and lower octaves. Music is all, music takes in all;
that is why music is even greater than heaven.
