The Influence of music

Music...music has the ability to relieve tension, break the bondages that hold us back and more so put us in an intoxicated state of inertia, a complete paradox.
The dynamics of music are full of surprises and yet, at the same time simple in nature. What we see and feel in music is merely a reflection of our inner most thoughts and experiences which correspond with the heart.

Every individual has a specific bio-rhythm, to which they are drawn to. When we hear a piece of music or someone playing the piano to a specific tune, the vibrations given off, if at the same frequency and at almost the same level, even by a decibel, can captivate us to the extent that we lose touch with reality and are transported to a realm of complete possibility’s, which in reality are regarded as impossible, or are impossible! Our goals, objectives, focus and purpose become temporally disorientated, it plays and has no relevance for that period in time. In fact everything around us becomes a blur and everything within us...let’s just say, all our inner most desires and dreams become a reality in our minds eye.

It can therefore be said that, music has no distinct definition; it’s merely an emotional morphs, constantly changing in nature. An entity of enormous possibilities which can’t be measured by a mere mortal.

Music transcends all limitations, its language only the heart can understand and not the mind. The mind can’t rationalise what the heart interprets; with all due respect the mind does have the ability, however lacks the capacity! Why? The mind of today is either in a state of,”tamus” or,”Rajas”. When the mind reaches the state of being,”sutvic“, where both the heart and the mind are in equilibrium, only then can the mind understand and rationalizes with the heart.
Therefore the influential nature of music is profound as well as divers in more ways than one. Inculcating even one ayorta of this, we can attain liberation. Such is the influential nature of music.
