the new flute - herding souls back home
some ask
what is the point of
PT's music
many among those have
read/heard Krishn's tales of playing flute
to herd the गौ (cows) back home
these cows are busy munching
immersed in
the various herbs/grasses/leaves
of the jungle
and have lost all sense of anything
else beyond that
people don't question the point in
this exercise in the story
'cows have to be brought back home'
it all sounds obvious and natural to them
but they miss the real point of
which this story is only the metaphor
sanskrit गौ 'gau' has two meanings
cow & the senses
it is 'the senses' meaning which is crucial
the senses are always wanting to
feed upon the various things
in the jungle of this world
it takes divine sound to
grab their attention
which inturn allows
them to come back to the
real home
home of divine
thats what PT's lotusocean sounds
are for -
herding
souls back to the source
guitar is the new flute
of this time
only the sounds matter -
flute is just a metaphor
for an instrument
and electric guitar
is the instrument of choice for now
only the avatar music
can enchant them out of this worlds offerings
if cows have to come home
don't the souls ?
