Music and Religion
Music and religion are like the obverse and reverse of the
same reality-coin. Music in its purest sense is religion and
religion in its purest sense is music.
This music-religion, this code of life, this universal language
of the soul can only be offered; it cannot be purchased or
sold. Music and religion are for the seekers, for the music-lovers,
for the truth-servers. Money-power or earthly name and fame
cannot lord it over these two immortal realities, these two
earthly and heavenly treasures.
The source of true music and the source of true religion will
always remain the same, and that source is a cry, a birthless
and deathless cry - an eternal hunger. It is a hunger not
for one's own satisfaction, but for God's Satisfaction in
God's own way.
When music and religion come from this source, only then will
the message and beauty of music and the message and beauty
of religion be divinely illumining and fulfilling.
