What is common between a human life and a song?

It is not easy to understand human life. There doesn’t seem to be a fixed formula for success. There is no path that can lead a person to the destination. We all seem to have a pretty good idea of ​​what we want in life, but we don’t know how to get there and get what we want. For example, we all want wealth, power, love, happiness or recognition. Maslow also clearly described the hierarchy of needs which states that we all try to satisfy needs in a hierarchical manner viz. physical needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and finally self-actualization needs. Some of us can meet some of the needs, but billions of people cannot meet even the basic needs of food, water, clothing, and shelter. Those who are capable of satisfying basic needs seem to be too far from satisfying the needs of love, esteem, or happiness.

Therefore, most people find their life short and unfulfilling. They find a void in their lives despite having everything that should have filled their lives. They follow in the footsteps of great people, read all the scriptures by heart, believe in the Almighty, study and remember the latest scientific studies to find some path that will lead them to success and happiness. However, the more they try, the further they get from their goal.

Which is the reason?

Why are there no scientific or other methods to know and get what we want?

Human life always seems to be a mystery to the human race, despite the exponential growth of knowledge in the modern world, where the Internet and Facebook seem to connect all the people in the world with each other.

the mystery of the song

It would be interesting to compare the misery of life with another mysterious reality that we all know as song. The songs are purely human creation that is full of music and poetry. Each song is unique like each human life. However, not all songs are beautiful and loved by people.

Each song has four essential characteristics.

1. Music: The most essential feature of a song is the music, which is always unique. The music of the song is often created with the help of many musical instruments that are played in a way that creates a harmony or new types of rhythms. The rhythms and harmonies of each song are unique and represent the creativity of the human mind. The music seems to follow no logic, nor can it be expressed in words. It seems to echo the thoughts of composers who fuse music with another beautiful creation called poetry. Music, therefore, represents an unknown, invisible and indescribable world. The only method to prove the beauty of music is its appeal to the human heart.
2. Poetry: The words of the songs are never written in prose but written in poetic forms. Poetry has been written since time immemorial and poetry has been found to be the best method for expressing mysteries. All the Indian scriptures including the oldest texts like Vedas, Upanishads and Gita were composed into poems. Poems can be considered as a bridge between the written words of prose and the rhythm of music. Sometimes the poetry is created after the music, but often the music is created after the poem is written. However, when a song is composed, the music and the poetry are so mixed up with each other that it becomes impossible to tell which was created first.
3. Human characters: Most of the songs are presented with human characters. Indian songs are sung on screen by the heroes and heroines of the film. The songs are used as an art to dramatize the feelings of the actors and have become over time the most important ingredient in a movie. In the western world, where the songs are not part of the movies, the songs are often represented in the form of music albums that are created solely for the promotion of the songs. Therefore, when we listen to a song, the characters used to represent the song in the movie or music album come to life in our imagination. Even when we don’t know the characters, we often fill our own characters in the songs and make the song come alive for us.
4. Cultures: The songs are unique to each culture and represent the culture in the most mysterious way. There is hardly a song that can be liked in all cultures. Even the best song from one country can seem boring, bland, or noisy to others. Even within the same country, the songs of the older generation are often not liked by the people of the new generation. Similarly, the people of the old generation do not like the songs of the modern generation and prefer to listen to the old “classic” songs. There can be no reason why someone likes a particular song while another person dislikes the same song or doesn’t appreciate it. However, that is a reality that cannot be ignored.

the song of life

Human life bears a great resemblance to a song. First of all, all lives are as unique as a song. Each song has lyrics that represent the known, seen, and material world that can be written and explained. These are similar to many principles that we know well and that can be expressed in words that can help people understand life. However, there is no guarantee that if we follow the “right” path/word we will arrive at the “right” destination. Because; everything in this world is in a state of flux. Everything is changing. Even we are changing. Therefore, what worked before never works at another time.

The words of the song must be combined with the rhythm of life to create a beautiful song.

You can achieve success and happiness only when you can understand the rhythm of life. The rhythm of life is dynamic and represents the vibrations of humanity. We cannot understand this rhythm with the logical mind. It can only be understood with our soul through the feelings of our heart. When we combine the words of wisdom from the scriptures and sciences with the rhythm of life, we create a beautiful life like a song. Therefore, understanding the rhythm of the world is the key to creating a beautiful life.

A beautiful life is like a beautiful song that is full of fresh colors. Human elements and cultural elements are filed in a beautiful life. Therefore, what works for one person may not work for another. Similarly, what works in one culture and one country does not work in another country.

No one can predict a beautiful life like no one can predict a beautiful song. Even the musician and composer can predict what song they are going to create the next day. No composer can be sure after the creation of the song if it is a beautiful song. Only when a song with the four elements is released to the world, do people decide if the song is really beautiful. A beautiful song melts into the minds and hearts of mankind who feel as if the song was created exclusively for them. It is because it fulfills your aspiration and satisfies your feelings.

Let’s understand this rhythm of life using our heart and make our life beautiful and happy.
