उत्तर
One of the Shakespearian characters advises, "If music is the food of love; play on". It is the manna meant to close the space separating hearts. It provides tremors of feeling; some terrible, some joyful, some sublime, some throbbing with the simple pleasure of life. Whatever the type, it rejuvenates hearts and cleans spirits.
Music cuts beyond boundaries of geography and time. For instance, Beethoven's exquisite notes captured listeners and made them devoted to his symphonies. His symphonies were so powerful that they waited for the strains to seep into every cell of their bodies.
With their vocals, which inspired blessings from the divine and resonated in places of devotion, figures like Tansen and Bhimsen delighted both royal and common audiences. Nature and everything in it reacts to music with pure heart. Rivers hum, the breezes perform their lyres, and birds sing in unison. The cuckoo's rhapsody and the skylark's delight make us very happy; the gentle cadences of the waves take us to a spiritual world. Even the sound of the storm and the turbulence of the waves provide signals that excite our souls. Many tormented souls have found comfort in the science known as music therapy. Arid people also find peace in its hug. Music profoundly affects our emotional condition, from quiet tunes lulling the elderly to ballads calming crying babies to sleep.
Not only does it appeal to our ears, but instrumental music also compliments vocal ones. The veenas, sitars, violins, and percussion instruments create magic right into our existence. Whether Western or Oriental, the beat of music forces us to clap our feet and swing in enjoyment. Classical or folk, very sophisticated or ethnic tones, resound with the same feeling since music expresses the spirit. Every great event in our life is accompanied by music. Birth, marriage, festivals all come alive with singing. When music is playing, even death and failures seem to lose their sting. It treats lost hopes and broken hearts. Life devoid of music is boring.
With its universal language and peace, delight, and transcendence, music communicates to the depths of our being. Its ongoing relevance in human experience is demonstrated by its ability to arouse feelings and unite hearts over time and distance.
