I wore music as dress of my soul when i was little. I didn't know then that what really music is and how it treats our inner world ,i just loved it.I would listen it all the time ,yes almost all awakened time :)
My mom was simple house wife . I heard her singing slowly while knitting or doing other such chores . When she would see us she would stop and start to talk about anything else .
I loved her voice .She seemed to love music less though she had loved songs from movies she had been watching before moving to the village. May be by singing from them she refreshed her memories .
My father had excellent voice too and sang hardly few times for us when he was in quite good mood .He would tap his two fingers on the back of other hand and make voice with mouth along and it would seem as there were two instruments were being played ,one voice sounded like drum beat but other i can't name specificity.
My passion for music was unbeatable . I would not tired from listening it from dawn to till next dawn ,yes it actually happened sometime that i listened music without taking break for many hours ,specially when i was free after exams and was liberated to listen it without feeling guilty .
Many times i played music to memorize some passage better as it was hard to do so quietly .Or felt abnormal because for me music playing in background was Normal . Music seemed to strengthened my brain and support my memory to save my lesson in my memory box .
Music worked like sunlight that absorbs in soul and unleash all the caged birds of imagination . Music would open doors to unknown worlds that existed beyond my approach . Being familiar to such worlds was therapeutic.
Listening music for years and most time of the day made me optimistic . Looking at sights while cherished music is being played was exceptional experience .Views looked more vibrant and visible than usual. Music brought out their genuine charm to my sight.
For instance scenes laid before my eyes would stimulate my imaginative power and i would feel like i was able to leave my body behind. My flight over the glob would make me realize that how small the world is.
I would be able to transform in all other "beings" and their pains and relieves " felt as i was the one bearing them.
I am not wise to define the personal experience of "ONENESS" but believe me it is something magical . Once you go through it and you feel like New soul within you .Light and Free from all Impurities .Selfishness cannot survive this experience because it reveals how you are "Connected " to other creations of your Creator and how your good or bad perspective affects the whole existence of "Oneness " .It reveals that this bonding is your savior ! Or you will be a drop out of ocean. The Ocean of humanity and Creativity by Lord!
I had (have) the whole universe within me.That connection made me so "full of Faith" Faith in one who is Creator of all and Faith in Goodness whom he guard himself always.
I think i gained this attitude because i heard lots of music. It kept my soul Safe from harm that negativity of this world could possibly do.
Music made my memory strong .I remember when sitting in classroom we girls would start to memorize for test right after break ,i was the one who hardly needed second look on page . Girls would wonder how i did that and now i know why :) Because constant supply of words and tunes to my poor brain made him habitual to memorize immediately lol.
Music helped me to think and write better for which is necessary to "feel better"
here is a ghazal (slow song) one of my favorite among so so many others that i used to listen alot when i was little.
