SPIRITUAL SCIENCE
A higher sense of unity, harmony, and spiritual satisfaction can be experienced individually and daily, in the service of the Supreme. Service of the Supreme can take many forms, but loving offerings of sacred song and music is easy and effective.
In discussing our individual divine loving potential in connection with the Supreme, or God, the information provided on this site is not aimed at exclusively promoting the viewpoint of a one single religion or spiritual path. Rather, it is an attempt to promote the conclusion of the underlying truth and love which runs through all genuine faiths, which culminates in love of God. The common goal is to regain our loving personal relationship with the Supreme Lord, which is the perfection of our existence and conclusion sought by all genuine scriptures. It is by loving service to the Supreme that we become joyful in this life and the next.
If you are well established in your own religious/spiritual tradition, may God bless on your journey back to Godhead! The concepts you may find here may sound very familiar, and may just be a reminder of what you have learned your own tradition. If you are curious about spirituality, and are looking for more information, may you be blessed to find your way into the spiritual depth and understanding you are looking for. Just different types of music can cross cultural borders and bring joy beyond man-made boundaries, the appreciation of the service and love of the Supreme Lord can also be appreciated in many melodies and forms.
Spiritual substance is multi-layered, similar to the sound of an orchestra. Spiritual substance is eternal and not made of temporary material elements. God is the source of spiritual substance, as spiritual substance expands from God, similar to the rays of the sun, expanding from the sun. Spiritual substance and variety are included unity in diversity. Spiritual substance is the what the body of God is made of, namely eternity, knowledge and bliss. Each individual soul is composed of this same eternity, knowledge and bliss, to a lesser degree, which is what makes us different from, yet the same as our spiritual Source. We are spiritually made in the image of God, but are not God; we are parts and parcels of the Supreme Personality of Godhead meant to expand and exchange love with our Source. We are sparks of the Supreme, with a purpose. Our purpose is to lovingly play our part in the Symphony of Spirit.
A timely interjection here would be to note that the information above and below is universal knowledge, but is framed by the spiritual science as revealed in the Bhagavad-Gita, one of the Vedic holy texts from India written 5,000 years ago. The Bhagavad Gita was widely introduced to the Western world by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a highly esteemed saint and scholar from the Bhakti tradition, which promotes pure love of God. Free access to multi-volumes of Vedic literature translated and explained by Swami Prabhupada can be found here.
Playing Our Part
The highest improvement of the quality of life comes by realizing one's own real spiritual nature, identity and relationship to God. Each living entity is a spark of God, a part and parcel of the Supreme, a child of the Almighty Father. Our real nature and identity is composed of eternity, knowledge and ecstatic love, with a capacity to give and receive loving spiritual emotions with the Supreme Lord. This has been mentioned above, but repetition is necessary usually for assimilation. You are not the material body, but a spiritual being, temporarily living in a body made of matter.
It is usually through our most important relationships, that we experience our highest happiness, as well as the most troubling types of distress. By agreeing to play one's part under the Supreme Conductor in the mood of loving service, ecstatic spiritual harmony can be revealed. How is it possible? It is because God, the Source of everything, happens to live in the heart of each and every living being as our dear-most friend and companion.
That common truth is that there is a magnificent symphony of spirit which is going on within us, and without us, and all around us. Whether we choose to be a player is this symphony or not, is a matter of individual choice. For those choosing to participate, how to be more in tune with Spirit through conscious choices and actions, is the humble attempt of this website and attached blog pages. The first step is to hear, which includes reading, as a type of hearing, which takes place in the mind. To borrow a famous phrase "In the beginning was the Word" (divine sound). I pray for blessings so that what you may find here will not only be music to your ears, but to your heart, mind and soul.

Our Almighty Creator, who enjoys proprietary rights over the whole universe, is also the supreme friend to all. Although supremely independent and perfectly complete, He generously allows Himself to be lovingly purchased by us for our very own for a song. albeit an absolutely pure and sincere song. A song sung with no material motive, a song which is a heartfelt offering of love, a reflection of love, to the Source of love. Although perhaps inconceivable to some, two pure spiritual elements are eternally required to create and exchange one pure love. The theatre where this song is sung and also heard by the Omnipresent Lord, is in the core of the our heart.
The Missing Link
One might ask what is the link between the individual spirt and the God, the Supreme Spirit? The answer is love. It is like inspired music launched as energy from performer to audience, then enthusiastically reflected back again to the performer from the audience. Musicians tell us that an appreciative audience can create a palpable reciprocal, inspiredl energy, which by mutual reflection effectively increases the enjoyment of both the audience and performer. Substitute love for music, and this same model reveals the very purpose for which we were created as individual spiritual performers. We were created as sparks of joyful loving Spirit, by a joyful loving Spirit, for the joy of loving Spirit.
Our soul's purpose is to experience love, then reciprocally expand love eternally. In purity, love expands without limit when the Supreme Creator/Conductor/Maestro, reciprocates loving energetic responses with the eternally conscious sparks of light that we are; we being the reflective individual audience members in a universal symphony.
God's love is for all beings. Upon reflection of God's unlimited love, each individual soul can ecstatically offer blissful loving service back to Supreme Lord, and to all of God's expanded creation. Upon realizing that everything is of God, by God, and for God, a perfected spiritual musician spontaneously shows love and respect for not only for God directly, but for all people and to the planet on which we live. Everything animate or inanimate within our experience is ultimately an expansion of God's energy, and therefore plays an important part in the symphony of spirit.
