Let The Music Flow
Moinuddin Chishti made beautiful music with his Sitar. He enjoyed playing the instrument than engaging himself in the Islamic way of offering the five ritual prayers. He would get lost in making melodies which was his way of praying. Though considered as going against the religious rule, Chishti could not be asked about it as the scholars and maulvis to who approached him would spontaneously get lost in his mellifluous rendering. It was only very natural for his fame to spread far and wide.
Once Jilani, a great mystic from Baghdad came to visit Chishti. On hearing about the arrival of Jilani, Chishti decided not to play the instruments as his transgression from Islamic decree could hurt the great mystic. In his whole life it was only on that day that Chishti decided not to sing nor play the instruments. So he hid the instruments.
Jilani came to Chishti's house and both sat in silence. However the instruments could not keep silent. It is said that the instruments began to play on their own and the whole house was filled with music. Chishti was naturally baffled. He had not known such beautiful music.
Jilani laughed and told Chishti, “You have hidden your instruments. But can you hide your soul? You may keep your hands away from playing and your throat from singing, but what about your being? Your whole being is musical! The whole place is vibrating with music!"
Jilani
continued,
“Rules
are
for
the
ordinary.
Not
for
people
like
you!
You
should
not
hide
your
instruments!"
Rules
are
not
for
the
ones
who
have
lost
themselves
in
their
being.
osho says “When the mind is fresh the very existence becomes a melody. When one is fresh, the existence responds to that freshness spontaneously.One will have to be centered in one's being for the mind to be in continuous newness. Continuous newness of the mind makes life a celebration.
