MUSIC

---

According to the thinkers of the East, there are five different intoxications: of beauty, youth and strength; the intoxication of wealth; the third is power,  the power of ruling; and there is the fourth intoxication, which is the intoxication of knowledge. But all these four intoxications fade away just like stars before the sun in the presence of the intoxication of music, as  it touches that deepest part of man’s being. And the beauty of music is that it is both the source of creation and the means of absorbing it - by music was the world created, and by music it is withdrawn again into the source which has created it.” – Hazrat Inayat Khan
