MUSICOID

ALL sounds never make Music. Likewise, all Music never leads us to Moksha. There is a theory, which holds that the sole purpose of Music is to prepare people for copulation. But there is also another theory that enlightens the ardent pursuer of Divinity that just before the advent of Moksha, Music cleanses and prepares the fortunate Soul, which after long toil and turmoil is travelling in the right path, to Moksha. After the Liberation of the Soul, that is, after the transformation into Divinity, as a result of attaining Moksha, there chants as lullaby in the Inner Ear of the Jeevanmuktha, i.e. the Liberated-Living, the steady, effortless, ceaseless, … , eternal Divine Music of Perfect Bliss.

Divine Music is the consequence of constant contact in communion with the Musical God, i.e., the Nadha Brahmmam. There is no language barrier or the so-called linguistic impotency in the Music of the Divine. It is the Music conceived for the Supreme Instrument ever created that is the Body enshrining the Divine Soul in order to process and soothe the ignorant Mind and relieves the Self from the clutches of the animality of Ego. Definitely, there is an infinite difference between Lust Music and Divine Music. As we differentiate Music with noise likewise so is Divine Music associated with Lust Music. Divine Music is complete and perfect and the prime defect of Lust Music is its incompleteness and imperfection. Until we attain Moksha, we are imposed to practise by approximating and imitating Divine Music in terms of Lust Music. Divine Music is generalised whereas Lust Music is particularised. There is no end to growth by division in Lust Music. There are innumerable purposes and motives for Lust Music. But the uniquely singular aim of Divine Music is to worship and thus cherish God. Divine Music is never restricted by the limitations of Time for it stills Time and freezes the Mind from its habitual aimless wanderings. There are no gradations akin to relativity in Divine Music that one of it is greater or poorer than the other just because it is Absolute and it is the Liberated Soul’s expression of God. Divine Music is the Boon bestowed upon those who are fed up with the viciousness of Lust Music. Vexation is the curse of Lust Music. Brahmanandham is the true nature of Divine Music. Life becomes meaningful with joy at the advent of Divine Music. Lust Music makes Life tedious and absurd. Divine Music is continuous with God as its only theme. Lust Music is discontinuous baited with addictive traps at its crux and with ignorance & darkness as its chief themes. Anything, if seriously pursued with incessant dedication, will purify our vices if there are any and transform us into Divinity. Pursuing Lust continuously means pursuing discontinuity continuously, which is a contradiction. But according to the seriousness of practising contradiction, Divine Intervention will set these pursuits of us to the right mode. This is the Miraculous Process of Divinity. Passion for the transient leads to Lust. Passion for the transcendent leads to the Divine.

Divine Music is the consummation of Spiritualism. Lust Music is the depression of Materialism. When the Mind is wiped to Zero, the Soul reclaims its Divinity and flourishes by nourishing the Nadhamrutham, that is, by cherishing the Divine Musical Elixir. MUSICOID is the Musical Self of the Jeevanmuktha who has extinguished the EGOID and successfully reduced his ID to ZERO, that is, the ZEROID.
