from Uddhava-gita Dialogue 11 (blog entry) It is I the Self of all
Which disposes of life,
While cherishing all.
Beloved Uddhava,
I am all that is.

I am that which you
And all seekers seek.
I am motion in that which moves,
Among conquerors I am time.
In the gunas I am perfect b... read more

It is I the Self of all
Which disposes of life,
While cherishing all.
Beloved Uddhava,
I am all that is.

I am that which you
And all seekers seek.
I am motion in that which moves,
Among conquerors I am time.
In the gunas I am perfect balance.
In the good I am virtue.

In all that is manifest,
I am primary.
I am also
All that is unmanifest,
I am the most obvious
And I am the most subtle.
Among things difficult to conquer
I am the mind.

I am Hiranyagarbh the resplendent... read more

O Mind! Drink and revel in the ambrosia of melody; it gives one the fruit of all sacrifices and contemplation, renunciation as well as enjoyment; Thyagaraja knows that they who are proficient in sound, the mystic syllable OM, and the music notes-which are all of the form of the Lord Himself- are liberated souls.

O Mind! The knowledge of the science and art of music bestows on a person the bliss of oneness with the Supreme Being. Music such as is accompanied by the blissful oceanlike stories of the Lord which are the essence of Love and all the other sentiments blesses a person with oneness with the Lord. Music such as that cultivated by the discerning Thyagaraja bestows on a person affection (for fellow beings), devotion (to God), attachment to good men, the Lord's Grace, austere life, mental concent... read more

We adore that Supreme Being of the form of sound (Nada-Brahman) which is the one bliss without a second, and the light of consciousness in all beings that has manifested itself in the form of the universe. By the adoration of sound (nada) are also adored Gods, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, for they are the embodiments of sound.
