Today I found the missing link for the ‘Starry Nights’ in the most dramatic fashion. Like a fairy feather sailing swiftly through the rocky boulevards, dark fantasy nights, piercing thunderstorms, without changing its pace or rhythm ushered into the bliss of a new light. Beyond the rave parties of Parvathi Valley and Kasol, lies a macrocosm, uncategorized, undefined, and unified through music.Music traverses you between different worlds and bridges everything in the cosmos with a rhythm and a beat. Within the beats of the fantasy music is a story of how your emotions raise their bar experiencing the better of everything. Music from the mystical lands where fairies and angels exist, and all things softer and dulcet, with a spirit of wilderness and poetic mind, gliding through the empire of angels, above and beyond all realms, is a fete for the soul.Talking of classical poetry of Yeats, Tennyson, and the celebrated ilk, they gave a rythm and music to thoughts, facts, history, philosophy, and more. They told the world in verses musical, how the human evolved, how emotions felt in myriad stages and moments.Coming to a standstill, watching meteor shower and starry nights, the cosmos is beckoning us to a new wave of thought, a food for gumption, symphonies your hearts yearning to sing, and get back to the basics.Love so tender and sweet, sewn through the tapestry of melodic verses, reminding time and again , we are hear to love and live with compassion. Not a ideal world yet, but the moments spent looking at the dreamy universe above us, are moments of beautiful surpless emotions, unhinging your soul into boundlessness.

Music per se is meditative. You don’t need to binge on prozac or find any other outlet to calm down from inner turmoil when you have music that soothes your mind, heart, and inner spirit. There are times when there is so much inner noise, nothing can calm you down, except the pill of music that frails deep into the spirit and leaves you in a meditative state and bring you back to a state of mindfulness.

All of us need this, don’t we? the mindfulness that we consciously ignore, coz we are too caught up and get too absorbed dealing with whats on the brim of our lives, instead of letting good things seep inside. Then there is music, when we fail to have the strength to have a deeper knowledge of who we are. You do not need a master, or a teacher, or a guide, when you have the peace that comes from music, that sets your inner nous to wisdom that becomes auto didactic, it sets you on a auto-pilot to live in the present and seek nothing but things that you love to do, whatever they are.

Sometimes, I feel, things that we choose to ignore, like art, literature, philosophy, and music, only considering them mere pass times, must be included at every state of academics, because they instill invaluable inner knowledge, that we choose to look into after we retire from all the rigmarole.

When you pick a paintbrush or a simple HB pencil and start sketching anything at all, you no more feel the world around you. There is a world created around your thoughts, and gumption when you dwell into any kind of art, and that is what brings beauty into life.

I know music heals, and I can never underestimate what music does to the soul, even for those who are involved in the most hardcore pragmatic hoopla, music is your standstill. Because we need to what is aptly described in Tennyson’s Lotus Eaters poem. That is what music does to us, and we need to let it to us. We are not to forget the inner peace it brings to us, when there is nothing else. You don’t have to be a nirvana seeker to dwell into the depths of music, you just have to let your mind beckon to the deeper sweetness that lays in the bosoms of zen and flute music.

Enjoy this piece in celtic flute..flute is always peaceful in all cultures across the globe and because flute is universal..no match for that sound…and the harmony it creates…
