The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural
accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws
that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness.
—Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
It's such an extraordinary thing, music. It is how we speak to God
finally—or how we don't. Even if we're ignoring God.
It's the language of the spirit. If you believe that we contain within
our skin and bones a spirit that might last longer than your time
breathing in and out—if there is a spirit, music is the thing that
wakes it up. And it certainly woke up mine. And it seems to be
how we communicate on another level.
—Bono
Music is well said to be the speech of angels;
in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be
so divine. It brings us near to the Infinite.
—Thomas Carlyle
