Music and Silence

A friend asked this soul “What gives you bliss?. This soul answered” music and silence. “He was shocked and amused since music and silence are opposite ends in the spectrum of noise . He demanded an explanation for this statement. This soul told him“ Do you experience bliss when you listen to to the music of the flowing waters in Tennyson’ s
brook?. He nodded his head. This soul asked him” Don’t you experience bliss when you see the snow clad peaks of the Himalayas”?. He euphorically exclaimed “Yes”. This soul told him”Water is snow which has melted and snow is water which has frozen . When the same element in different forms can give you bliss the experience lies in the eyes and ears of a person and not on the object which is the source of bliss. ”My friend was confused and remarked that this soul has become crazy. This soul remarked “was crazy till now and have become normal”. Sorry , the sun has come back to work and this follow has to it’s father. This soul left my friend to introspect on this conversation and left. Blessings and Hari Ohm
