Shakespeare wrote, "If music be the food of love, then play on." He, being an inspired soul, probably already understood the deeper meaning of the word love. Love is the attractive force that binds the world together. It manifests in many forms far beyond the attraction that humans find for one another. It is the nuclear force that binds subatomic particles and the gravitational force that binds astronomical objects.
In the song param poruL, SP Bala sings in praise of Shivaa, the manifestation of Divinity:
"anuvilum nee iruppaai, anbennum vaedham sollvaal" which translates as:
"You are present even within the atom, teaching the wisdom of love"
Music is the harmonic audio manifestation of cosmic energy which emanates from every object, organic and inorganic. Some of it, we can hear but most of it is beyond our hearing range. Gifted humans have listened to the deep music reverberating within us and have captured some of it in their musical compositions to entrance and inspire us. Music in its purest form is the vibrational energy of the universe. It feeds the forces that bind the world together. Music is indeed the food of love!
