Music and Aspiration
Next to deep prayer or meditation, music is of paramount
importance. Meditation is like a direct route, or shortcut,
to the goal. Music is a road that is absolutely clear: it
may be a little longer, but it is quite clear of obstacles.
If one can play soulful music or hear soulful music, the power
of his own meditation increases.
Music, soulful music, adds to our aspiration. Similarly, if
a spiritual seeker wants to be a musician, even if he does
not have a musical background, he will be able to be a good
musician because prayer and meditation contain all capacities.
You may never have studied music but if you pray and meditate
soulfully, then inside your prayer, inside your meditation,
by the Grace of the Supreme, the power of music looms large.
Then you can utilise this power in your own way.
