Striking A Sacred Chord

Gratitude Expressed - Hallelujah

Music, invisibly heard but  not necessarily seen, has a corresponding mathematical component which charts its form, denoting scales and timing.

The word chord, defined as a combination of single notes played together is from from the French, meaning agreement or accord; separate vibrations playing simultaneously, harmoniously.



One's invisible spirit or consciousness also over time experiences a scale of high and low notes in the ups and downs in daily life on earth. But what if there was a secret chord, a combination of notes one might play to ease life's discordant trials and reveal a harmonious higher order of existence?

As in a math formula, where each number represents a value that defines a phenomenon, one's personal values also define one's invisible relationship to life, as well as to one's higher power.

Values like gratitude, forgiveness, tolerance, mercy, and a conviction that a Higher Power benevolently accompanies, counsels and guides towards one's highest good throughout, are notes of a divine chord or an accord with the Supreme - if one has interest in pursuing such a dialog.

One always has the free will of choice in deciding how to react to whatever life sends one's way; reacting with surrender and praise of wisdom, Source/God, with a "Hallelujah" is just one of many.
"Now I've heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord.. but you don't really care for music, do ya?  HALLELUJAH written by Leonard Cohen
Like notes in a chord, cultured qualities of love, patience and mercy in all situations, open the heavens for grace to descend, guiding one's spirit to ascend to higher conscious realms and connectivity with life Supreme.

When one can praise the Supreme in all circumstances, one's spiritual heart strengthens and spiritual communications from the Lord in the heart / Holy Spirit are gradually revealed, accordingly.

This blog post was done on March 20, 2019 the lunar appearance day of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (February 18 1486 – June 14 1534) who taught and freely gave access to spiritual accession and love of God, through heartfelt musical praise of the Supreme.

Srimad Bhagavam 10.14.8
tat te ’nukampam su-samiksamano
bhuñjana evatma-krtam vipakam
hrd-vag-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te
jiveta yo mukti-pade sa daya-bhak
 
Translation: 
 
My dear Lord, one who earnestly waits for You to bestow Your causeless mercy upon him, all the while patiently suffering the reactions of his past misdeeds and offering You respectful obeisances with his heart, words and body, is surely eligible for liberation, for it has become his rightful claim.
 
                     Hallelujah!
