Walking by an ocean or holding a shell to my ear feels like listening to “the music of time.” When I absorb myself in these sounds, I become still and I am at ease. I sense the glory of universal Consciousness of which I am a part.

I repeated today’s teaching as I began to meditate and realized I could use music to still my mind.
Om Namah Shivaya came to mind. As I began to chant the mantra, my mind became focused and quiet. Afterward, I softly recited
Shri Guru Gita, and a bird outside the window sounded exactly like it was singing, “Yes, yes, yes!”
Yes, indeed! I felt I was experiencing the power of “the music of time.”

Gurumayi’s teaching “The music of time” resonated within me immediately and reminded me of the primordial
spanda, the divine throb or vibration from which all of creation arose. As I continued to contemplate Gurumayi’s teaching, I realized that music is heard only through the passage of time. Thanks to time, we can hear the music of a baby’s laughter, the music of the wind blowing through the trees, the music of birds celebrating spring. I experience a unity in time and music and that both are divine and precious gifts.
