Listen With Your Heart

When we sing,
We embody and become
The power of music.
This power has a free access
To the Universal Heart.

Let us not try to understand music
With our mind.
Let us not even try to feel it
With our heart.
Let us simply and spontaneously
Allow the music-bird to fly
In our heart-sky.
While flying, it will unconditionally
Reveal to us
What it has and what it is.
What it has
Is Immortality’s message
And what it is
Is Eternity’s passage.

 Listen With Your HeartGod’s Music is heard by each individual according to his own capacity of receptivity. God plays the same Music, but it sounds one way to one person and totally different to another. When a professor gives a talk, there will be many students in the same classroom. Each student will understand the professor’s talk differently. Because of his inner capacity, the best student in the class will understand much more than the worst student. God’s Music is heard, valued, understood and felt in a specific way according to the listener’s own capacity of receptivity.

God has created two kinds of music-lovers. One kind will try to study and understand music, most of the time on a mental level. These music-lovers enjoy music in a mental way. Again, there are some seekers who have no musical training, but they seek the music that is deep within. They enjoy music in a psychic way. The music that they hear at times far surpasses the music that others study.
If you can identify yourself with music, at that time you become the source, the composer. Also, when you listen to spiritual music and identify yourself with the singers, if the music is being sung very soulfully, this is nothing short of your own prayer and meditation.
