Appreciating Soulful Music
The songs that will have the greatest influence in years
to come are those that come directly from the soul and immediately
are accepted by the aspiring heart, vital, mind and body.
Sometimes you can soulfully sing most soulful songs, but only
the aspiring heart accepts the songs. The doubting mind or
the intellectual mind finds it very difficult to appreciate
anything. The aggressive or restless vital and the sombre
or sleeping body also find it very difficult to appreciate
the songs. But when a soulful song is sung soulfully and,
at the same time, it is appreciated by the immediate members
of the inner family - the body, vital, mind and heart - on
the soul level on which it is sung, then it will definitely
have the greatest influence on humanity.
Sometimes you sing a song most soulfully from the heart level,
let us say. If it isn't appreciated on the heart level, if
it is just appreciated on the mind level or the vital level
or the physical level, then one does not get the utmost joy,
inspiration and satisfaction from it. In order to get the
utmost satisfaction, one has to reach the level from which
the song is sung and appreciate it there before it comes down
to a lower level. If it is from the heart level, then one
has to attain the heart level in order to appreciate it. One
can also appreciate it from a lower rung, but it won't be
as effective.
