Music Meditation | Turya | Al Gromer Khan
Turya is a very deep silent music…. Oh did I say silent, Mido? Put it almost ‘almost silent’. Al Gromer Khan’s Turya album has a very great significance both in its linguistic meaning and in its musical meaning. Osho (a.k.a Bhagwan Rajneesh) says beautifully about this word Turya in one of his discourse on Upanishads, and I leave the linguistic meaning to him to interpret while I write on the music in the following posts.
My short comment on this album for now is: Turiya is a Voyage Beyond. That says all about this wondeful music album for meditation. Now the meaning of Turya, given by Osho:
Yes, nothing can be different than it is,
but you can be different.
The world is the same
- to the Buddha, to the enlightened, to the unenlightened -
but you are different and that makes the difference.
That’s the difference that makes the difference.
The world is the same
- Buddha moves here, you move here, gods live here, dogs live here -
it is the same world.
But because their awareness is different,
their depth and height is different,
their “this is it” will be different too,
their now will also be different.
So when I am talking about now,
my “now” contains THIS and THAT both.
When in the West people are talking about now,
their now only contains “this”.
Remember what the Isa Upanishad says:
This is whole. That is whole.
The whole comes from the whole, still the whole remains behind.
This is the fourth state, TURIYA,
the ultimate state beyond which nothing happens.
Unless you have reached to it, Sambuddha,
you are living at the copper mine.
You have to move to the silver mine,
then to the gold mine,
and then to the diamond mine,
and then to the beyond.
