VOICING©: THE SONG OF THE SOUL

“Man has two hearts. One belongs to his body, the other belongs to his soul. When you start hearing the heartbeat of the soul, you hear something which can only be called celestial music. And once you have heard it within yourself you will be able to hear it in the sound of running water, in the wind passing through the pine trees, in the songs of the birds, in the silence of the night and even in the noise of the marketplace.
Meditation is needed to make the mind silent and quiet, and as the mind becomes quiet the music starts happening to you. It was already happening, but you were not aware of it. And once you have heard it, it pulls you inwards like a magnet, it pulls you to the very centre of your being. And it is there at the very centre of your being that all the mysteries are revealed.
Meditation is only a preparation. Meditation is an antidote to mind.”
OSHO, If You Choose To Be With Me, You Must Risk Finding Yourself

“Once the mind is gone there is no need of meditation. One is simply pure music, celestial music, sacred music. That music has been called by different names: Tao, Dhamma, God.” OSHO

QUALITIES OF A SONG

“Man is carrying within himself a tremendous capacity for music. when I say man I mean every man. and when I say music I don’t mean ordinary music. Not everybody can be a musician in the ordinary sense. Only few have that talent. It is something inborn, innate.

My meaning of music is totally different. I mean the inner experience of harmony. It is far more musical than any music that can be created. It is uncreated music. No instruments are needed, no training or expertise is needed. All that is required of you to listen to its deep silence. It is already there. It is your very life. The Zen people call it the sound of one hand clapping.”

THE INNER MUSIC IT IS JUST LIKE YOUR HEARTBEAT

“In ordinary music there are always two things needed, only then can sound be created. If you are playing a guitar then you have to use your hands on the strings. Only through the tension created by your fingers will the strings create music.

the very beginning. It is just like your heartbeat; a little deeper than that, a little more mysterious than the heartbeat. It is the beat of your true heart.”

BECOME A SONG AND YOU BECOME A SANNYASIN

A song has a few qualities which are basic requirements for a sannyasin too.
The first quality is that a song is a celebration. So is sannyas, sannyas is not renunciation but rejoicing.
The second quality of a song is that it is not a syllogism. It is illogical. You cannot understand it through logic. It is not an argument. It neither tries to prove anything nor to disprove anything. It simply rejoices for no reason, with no motive at all. It is like the birds singing in the early morning. A sannyasin also has to live that kind of life. That quality has to be imbibed.
Be less concerned with logic and more concerned with joy. A logical mind becomes joyless, because joy is basically illogical. And a joyful person drops logic. He has to drop it, it is an unnecessary burden. You cannot carry the rock of logic and yet dance and sing.

And the third quality of a song is that it is rooted in the heart, it comes out of the source of love. So does sannyas, it is exactly like that. It is rooted in the heart, not in the head, and it comes out of your love. It is not a conclusion arrived at by the mind. It is a quantum leap, a jump into the unknown for the sheer joy of moving into the unknown, not knowing where you are going, why you are going, not even bothering about where and why.
It looks mad to those who cling to logic, love has always looked mad to those people. But love is a madness which is a higher kind of sanity, because it is only through love that one achieves God.”

THAT MOMENT IS THE EXPLOSION OF LIGHT, OF LOVE, OF JOY.

Then one becomes a song. And only if we become a song can we offer something to God. If we bloom like a flower then we can offer ourselves to God. Otherwise we have nothing, we have nothing, we are just empty, hollow, full of rubbish.

But that need not be so. The rubbish can be transformed, it can be used as manure. That’s what we are doing here: we use everybody’s rubbish as manure to grow flowers!
