Every body seems to be running..don't really know behind what,or to get what..None is really sure what to achieve,and why...Though,apparently,a person looks like relaxing,the one is not.His/her brain is constantly active,there is little space in the brain for rest and respite...
For classical music,it takes years to learn how to listen and what to listen...I may cite an example.One day,i tried to listen a piece of my Ustad,or i tried to look attentive...After the small piece,my ustad asked me to mention the last note where the music ended...My answer was not correct,because that particular note was so faded..almost silent..
My preceptor said,unless i could silence my brain and my mind,it won't reach my ears.. It was so true and correct..We had to practice taking lessons deep at midnight so as to understand the notes and their precision...It is kind of meditation,dhyan...
