Swami Amar Jyoti

How would the world be without music? God must have thought that the world needs sweetness. According to the Vedas, speech and music are attributed to Goddess Saraswati and Lord Shiva. Wherever vibrations are rhythmic, it will produce music. If you listen to water flowing freely, you will hear music. If you listen to the wind rustling through the trees, you will hear unknown tunes. The rhythmic flow of anything creates music. Whether it is creative dance, the rhythmic flow of action, the rhythmic flow of speech-- when you flow in tune with nature in you and around you, you will hear music. Whenever action becomes disorderly, chaotic, un-rhythmic, it becomes noise. When you are in rhythmic flow, your body will feel lighter rather than exerted or tired. That creative flow is yogic living. It brings you in tune with the cosmos and your surroundings in such a way that you enjoy life. Generally, we feel the pleasures of life with the senses, as opposed to the real enjoyment of living.
