1637- Silence & Music
" 'Silence' in spirituality is often a metaphor for inner stillness. A silent mind, freed from the onslaught of thoughts and thought patterns, is both a goal and an important step in spiritual development. Such "inner silence" is not about the absence of sound; instead, it is understood to bring one in contact with the divine, the ultimate reality, or one's own true self, one's divine nature."
So is divine music, nadopasana, to bring one in contact with the divine, like saint Tyagaraja attained.
