Often one sees a deep beauty in music. Then why not in words?
When used as a meditative practice, music can naturally turn one more inward. Have you seen someone who is in the state of flow when they are singing, dancing, playing an instrument, or even just listening to something that brings them into peace and love? On the path of unconditional love, Bhakti Yog, we hear about music and its various expressions so often. Because it can lead to extraordinary states of experience within the self. Have you felt the vibrations of the bhajans, of the instruments? They are so powerful. They create subtle ripples that impact the various chakras and organs of the body, creating healing and bliss. They work on the subtle parts of the Self and bring the jeevatma’s energy into a concentrated upward movement towards the higher self. The same is true for any words that one speaks. But why is it so much easier to accept this about music, but people still very much ignore the power of their words? What one speaks and how one speaks is such an important part of human experience. Words create ripples in the fabric of the universe, lasting a far longer time than one believes to be possible. There are words that were spoken or the way they were spoken that you still remember years later, right? The same is true for other people and how they feel. So why misuse or waste this extraordinary gift of speech from Bhagavan? Why not infuse it with love and kindness, as the constant reminders of the SatGuru are showing everyone? Not everyone has received the ability to hear or speak. Everything can be a way to go closer to Bhagavan, but only if one starts to look at it that way. Those who have these abilities also have the responsibility to use them properly. The way one thinks, that is the way one speaks, then one goes out in the world and acts in that way also. When the mind receives contradictory signals from the thoughts, speech, and actions - what do you think would happen? Confusion? Depression? Inability to move? Lack of belief? Anger? So many problems arise when there is hypocrisy hiding within. Purify your mind, speech, and actions towards genuine unconditional love and you will see that Bhagavan, the SatGuru, were always so close to the Self.
