Topic: Art (01/18/07)
Colours and sounds... Words. Music. Images. Shapes... Harmony. Beauty. Deep feelings. Inspiration...

Indeed. It's only a true art that brings you inspiration, making you strive for something lofty and eternal. Strive for perfection, for eternal perfect beauty. It's only a true art that easily wipes out all the facets of life. Meanings. Thoughts. Forms and ideas. Laws and creeds... It's only a true art that can break all the boundaries between people, nations, religions, traditions, generations and... times. Indeed. A true art is an eternal art. It unites the past, the present and the future. It unites time and space. It unites your heart with your mind. It unites your soul with God.

One of the greatest Sufi sages, Hazrat Inayat Khan, said that the language of colour and sound (in other words the language of creation and art) is the language of the soul. And that is the language of the inner world. The language of Heaven. The language of Eternity. The language of God. Indeed. A true art, embodied into life as a result of a true creation appears as the language God speaks to us.

We come on Earth for to learn to create. The way the Creator does it. We come here to learn to find and to create new forms. And look around! How many various forms mankind has already found and created! How many talented artists have left their traces on Earth!

Colours and sounds... Words. Music. Images. Shapes... Forms... In essence, these are only forms. Nothing more. All the forms of art remain the forms. No matter that the art of the forms is a true art, the greatest, the eternal. The art is only the form. A new form, unique and beautiful is a true art. There are so many unique and beautiful forms in our world... But each of the variety of the forms hides the only one content. The only one idea... Love. Highest. Absolute. Universal. Infinite. Eternal.
