Music5
Music is inspiration, soulful inspiration. It inspires the human in us. Music is manifestation, fruitful manifestation. It manifests the divine in us. Music is satisfaction, supreme satisfaction. It satisfies the Pilot Supreme in us.The human musician plays in order to become great. The divine musician becomes good first and then plays divinely, while soulfully and unconditionally offering the results to the Beloved Supreme. The Supreme Musician does not play in order to become great. The Supreme Musician does not have to become good in order to play. But the Supreme Musician at once embodies the universal sound-music and the transcendental Silence-Music.
God the Supreme Music feeds the aspiration-heart of the seeker-musician. God the Supreme Musician illumines the dedication-life of the seeker-musician. The soulful prayer of a seeker-musician and his music-world are the same thing: his soulful music is his soulful prayer. His fruitful meditation is another name for his fruitful music.
The music of the unaspiring musician and God’s Compassion-flood are inseparable. The music of the aspiring and surrendered seeker-musician and God’s Satisfaction-Delight are always interchangeable.
