The Soundless Sound – Silence
Music is the art of hearing the soundless sound,
the art of hearing the music of silence –
what the Zen people call the sound of one hand clapping.
When you are utterly silent,
not a single thought passes your mind,
there is not even a ripple of any feeling in your heart.
Then you start, for the first time,
hearing silence ...
Music helps you from the outside to fall in tune with the inner ...
Listening to great music you suddenly become silent - with no effort.
Falling in tune with the music you lose your ego with no effort.
You become relaxed, you fall into a deep rest.
You are alert, awake, and yet in a subtle way drunk.
- Osho
First birdsong of the the day was heard at 4:47 a.m. ... a full hour earlier than normal. I'm glad I heard it.
