Music Day

Music is very close to meditation. As one goes deeper and deeper into music, one starts feeling more and more silent, starts listening to the soundlessness in sound. Once in a while, one disappears into this silence. And there bursts unknown, overwhelming joy! The whole love for music is deep down the love for silence.

In fact, silence is the very source of sound. All suras and ragas are born of silence. It is the very soil out of which melody flowers.

The day you are able to listen to the silent music, you will understand the ultimate secret of music.
