Listening
Apr 4, 2012
REMAIN passive – not doing anything, just listening. And
listening is not a doing. You have nothing to do to listen to anything –
your ears are always open. To see you have to open the eyes – at least
that much has to be done. To listen, not even that much has to be
done – ears are always open. You are always listening. Just don’t do
anything and listen.
Listening with sympathy
Listening is a deep participation between the body and the soul
and that is why it has been used as one of the most potential methods
_
of meditation, because it bridges the two infinites: the material and
the spiritual.
And let this be your meditation; it will help you. Whenever you
are sitting, just listen to whatsoever is going on. It is the marketplace
and there is much noise and traffic, and the train and the plane; listen
to it with no rejection in the mind that it is noisy. Listen as if you are
listening to music, with sympathy. And suddenly you will see that the
quality of the noise has changed. It is no more distracting, no more
disturbing. On the contrary it becomes very soothing. If listened to
rightly, even the marketplace becomes a melody.
So what you are listening to is not the point. The point is you are
listening, not just hearing.
Even if you are listening to something that you have never
thought of as worth listening to, listen to it very cheerfully as if you
are listening to a Beethoven sonata. And suddenly you will see that
you have transformed the quality of it. It becomes beautiful. And in
that listening, your ego will disappear.

Music and Meditation...
Mar 13, 2007
Dear Friends,
music is an easiest way to lost in to ourself,the music which flows naturally without any pre desicion that is the real music where musician is not there but "MUSIC" is there.
when we listen to music also the same experience happens when we go deep in to the artistes mood there is no one to perform and no one to listen but music is there...
