Every
object of this vast universe seems to function smoothly and steadily under a stipulated
discipline. A natural tune and rhythm appears to underlie all. The sun rises and sets
according to a plan. Its rays reach us striking against the vast expanse of the
atmosphere. These rays impart to the earth fertility. Morning, noon, evening and night
move in an order. The moon and the stars, too, march at a prescheduled speed. A little
hindrance therein would suffice to reduce the entire universe to ashes.
The
flow of streams too, reflects this order that manifests itself in their sound of gurgling.
The growth of plants also falls in the same order. A settled system and order is visible
in sprouting of seeds, in the appearance of buds, their blossoming into fruits on
branches.
The
chirping of birds at dawn partakes of the same
dispensation. During spring season, the
cooing of cuckoos sounds so lovely. That, too, is associated with tune and rhythm. For the same reason, sweet chirping of sparrows,
drones, ducks and parrots soothes our ears, based as it is on the tune. The call of the
cow attracts the calf, as he is familiar with the distinct tune.
How
can human body stay segregated from this order of tune and rhythm? Man, too, is bred in a prescribed system. His
childhood, youth and old age reflect this. The usual flow of blood in veins, development
and degeneration of human organs, the incoming and outgoing breath mirror the existence of
tune and rhythm. Palpitation of heart is the essence of life by which the whole human
frame functions. A little snag in this tune can cause an end of human life. Such snags
give rise to many diseases e.g. heart disorder, low blood pressure, high blood pressure,
etc. Every body is bound by a chain of activities in daily life i.e. rising, eating,
working (hard) improving his capability, sleeping etc. Even this chain exhibits a
discipline and regularity.
In
view of these facts, tune and rhythm do underscore the importance of the order. In
reality, system of tune and rhythm constitute life and creation. It is an attribute of
life. Taking it as an essential part of life, everyone must organize the dynamics of his
life. Only then, his life can prove helpful in maintaining this natural order - by
relating his life to tune and rhythm.
