The Devotional Practice of Sacred Music
People within sacred cultures all over the world and throughout all time have made music and all arts as an expression of their feeling for the Divine. Even in the common world, where the sacred traditions have been lost or reduced to empty ritual and the conceptual mind rules over feeling, the arts express the artist’s feeling-relationship to his or her world. When we listen to music or participate in any art form, we respond to this expression.
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” –Plato
“The truest expression of a people is in its dance and music.” –Agnes de Mile

“True art heals. True art restores equanimity.
Art must regenerate the sense of well-being.
That is its true purpose.
When art is really useful, it serves this ultimate process of healing, well-being, higher sympathy, and Spiritual Awakening.”
