Shuffle the Universe. Part 2: Play Your Melody

Life is Music. Literally. Continuation of Part 1.

So, based on Hinduism, it doesn’t matter what happens — it happens for you; it has its own “color” or “taste.” And the taste may be unbearably bitter, but The One who was able to quit the “music recommendation algorithms” now can embrace Life in all colors and listen to Life’s music in its variety of melodies.

Take a look at a Piano. Press any key on it. You will hear a sound. Does this sound bad for you? Think about it and honestly answer yourself. Now press any other one. Totally random note. Does this one sound bad?

No. Keys just produce sound. You press them, a hammer hits the string, and the string creates the vibration. This vibration gives its very own sound. That can be heard, felt, and embraced.

So, as you see, every sound is beautiful in its nature. There’s nothing that can be wrong about them. But what really matters is the sequence of notes. This is what forms The Melody. What sound will follow the previous one will make the Melody beautiful or ugly.

The same in Life. But Music Notes are Events.

Think of this. Imagine a country house. Blue sky, green grass, foggy mountains on the horizon, cows around, fresh air. As a standalone concept — nothing wrong. It might even be tempting to get here.

But now let’s imagine you are a high-grade Wall Street Bank Worker who had to “downgrade” your city life to this house because you’ve been fired.

Now it sounds different, isn’t it? Now, this country house got some minor tones, right?

But is it really about a note or a melody we’re playing? Did this country landscape lose any of its qualities? Highly doubt. It’s the sequence of events that gives this house a mood.

Let’s start from scratch. Get back to the country house picture. Forget about the poor banker. Imagine you are a Homeless who’s been given this house as a gift. How about that melody? Full of joy, kindness, and happiness, isn’t it?

See, every single note is okay in its nature. So are events in our life.

There’s nothing wrong with C# of the 2nd octave or Eb of the 6th. What will make it beautiful or unbearable, though, is how they sound together and which note you will play next.

Can you play many at once while still sounding jazzy? Or are you creating melancholy masterpieces consisting of only a few notes but making it so well that everyone around you rains tears of joy?

It’s up to us, but remember it’s not the note, it’s the Melody you’re playing.
