“God the Musician, knows that music is spirituality, music is immortality. Man the musician thinks that music is sensuality, music is mortality. God, the Musician, knows that His music is His Transcendental Self-communion. Man, the musician, thinks that his music is his world's life-long companion. God, the Musician is divinely and eternally mysterious. Man, the musician, is humanly and temporarily marvellous. God's music tells us that music is the realisation of the universal soul. Man's music tells us that music is the aspiration of the individual soul. God's music runs from the height to depth. Man's music runs from the breadth to the length. On the height, God's music is His vision. In the depth, God's music is His reality. In the breadth, man's music is his crying soul. In the length, man's music is his victory's goal. God's music is the constant expansion of His soul's delight. Man's music is the preparation of his life's hunger of perpetual joy. God's music kills God with its infinite luminosity. Man's music kills man with its undying curiosity. In the spiritual world next to meditation is music, the breadth of music. Meditation is silence, energising and fulfilling. Silence is the eloquent expression of the inexpressible.
“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”
Sri Chinmoy
