“an ear for music”... mystified
me, when I heard it for the first time... I raced my memory, to
'google' in my brain's hard-disk... to look-to-see, if there was
any un-labelled image somewhere, with an extra-ear in a person....
or even an ear, “earmarked' for music-only, and being stone-deaf
for everything else!!
Oh! It was a mere reference to
'receptivity' within, irrespective of whether the 'input-device' is
working or not!!! (a word renowned musician was really deaf!)
So, it became too clear... receptivity
is exclusive of recepticle, its attachments!
It was only at the 'next-stage' in the
same track of looking-further that I discovered that 'ear for
concepts' in me!!!
And it does look like, for spirituality
to step in... the ear for concepts has to refine towards subtlety!
(as a side-effect, the ear-for-other
concepts becomes a little effortless! Just 'look' and the concepts
speak by themselves!)
At schools, the kids 'get' classified
in yet another distinct way(no yardsticks in place , as yet), when
only some of them manage to grow that 'ear for concepts'... The rest
of them keep 'scoring' by boring/mugging/rigging/etc., till time
catches up with them some/sum-time or other! :)

Worth pondering over it ," ear for concepts " and receptivity within that makes the difference in ability to observe .
ReplyDeleteYes ! Till the perception becomes instantaneous likes our response, when we hear our name being called by somebody!

Incidentally just a few minutes ago, as I was moved over a poem, "Just go with it ", by a Facebook Friend,Judith Froemming, I responded with these few lines, quite instinctively. Feel like sharing with you Sir:
ReplyDeleteDance is found,
If we can notice,
All around...
And then...
Joy
Knows no bound,
Humming it,
all around,
all around...

And as I opened your page just thereafter,
I could not hide my smile, seeing the caption of your write-up: "Have an ear for..."
So nice it feels, as you say Sir..."to be on the "next-stage" in the same track of looking-further..."
A very good evening Sir !
Pranam.
