A Tone is a Living Cell
"A tone is a living cell...
It has the power of reproduction, of making exchanges, of growing.
It is a microcosmos reflecting faithfully the macrocosmos,
its laws, its center. A tone is a solar system."
- Dane Rudyar The rebirth of Hindu Music
"And if there come the singers and the dancers
and the flute players - buy of their gifts also.
For they too are gatherers of fruit and frankincense,
and that which they bring, though fashioned of dreams,
is raiment and food for your soul."
- Kahlil Gibran
"From harmony, from heav'nly harmony
This universal frame began.
When nature underneath a heap
Of jarring atoms lay..."
- John Dryden (ca. 1690)
"Om saha navavatu;
Saha nau bhunaktu;
Saha viryam karavavahai;
Tejasvi navadhitam astu;
Ma vidvishavahai;
Om shanti, shanti, shanti.
Asato ma sada gamaya;
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya;
Mrityor ma amritaam gamaya."
("May we be protected together.
May we be nourished together.
May we work together with great vigor.
May our study be enlightening.
May no obstacle arise between us.
Om peace, peace, peace.
Lead us from the unreal to the real.
Lead us from darkness to light.
Lead us from death to immortality.")
- ancient Sanskrit prayer
