Music: The soul of life

The sound of raindrops on window sill. The sound of dew drops tipping over leaves. The sound of waves kissing the shore. And of course the sound of all those ‘sound’ instruments. Yes I am talking about ‘Music’. Music that produces smile in the gloomiest of person. Music that makes a child roll over in joy. Music which is the source of unknown happiness that overflows in everyone’s mind. Music that prompts lovers to rest in each other arms and swing away to eternity. When life is engraved in darkness and all roads appear closed music soothes the mind and opens a window to happiness. Talk to a person who starts his day with a doze of ‘healing’ music and you will know the source of his spiritedness. There is music for every mood that the mind knows be it sad, despair, loss, anxiety, agony, dull, ennui, dark, gloomy, ecstasy, joy, cheerfulness, jovialness, frivolous, naughty, prankish, bliss, frustrated, lost, blues and what not. Whatever the mood is play the right music and the mind will meander back to the state of being gay. As human we can relate to music with all the senses, consciously and unconsciously. Music has a direct connection to the soul or else how can you explain the fact that a hearing impaired person is touched equally by the sound of music as a normal person. The notes that emanate from a source of music pierce the corporeal being to find the incorporeal within. It is divine. To me it’s a singular way to experience the ‘calm’ of paradise. The hypnotic quality of music captures the mind and levitates it to heights of divinity till it becomes one with it. Nothing can break one out of this rapturous union. People have made different classification of music. But the mind does not understand the basis of this classification. To the mind they are all notes in varied harmony which strums the strings within. Immerse yourself in this swarming ocean, taste its vigor and emerge smitten.
