A Musical Course in Love

by Swami Kriyananda

Love is the eternal topic of music. When proposed by a yogi, love songs assume a different color, flavor, and message.

 

Musical Lesson 1

Only Tested Love Is Blessed

True was she, though sorely pressed — Rama’s wife! Rama’s wife! Long she spurned the stranger’s pleas. Harsh she called his life of ease: only tested love is blessed. Rama’s wife! Rama’s wife!

Rama and Sita symbolise perfect divine love, rich with purity, nobility, loyalty, and the power to overcome all tests.

Musical Lesson 2

Love Is God’s, Not Our’s

What is love? Is it only ours? Or does love whisper in the flowers? Surely we, children of this world, could not love by our own powers.

Love seems ours, but isn’t. All love has its origin in God.

Musical Lesson 3

Lifelong Loyalty

And many a lively day, John, we’ve had with one another; now we must totter down, John, and hand in hand we’ll go. And sleep together at the foot, John Anderson, my own.

This song expresses loyalty and steadfastness in love, in young and old age. The lyrics are by Robert Burns.

Musical Lesson 4

The Sweetness of Love

Go to sleep, little one. Heaven’s blessings you’ve won, by the innocence of your smile. May the whole of your life heal with calmness all strife, and teach kindness, free from all guile.

This song expresses love’s purity and sweetness for a child.

Musical Lesson 5

A Mystical Love Song

There by my bed she left me a note. Can you explain these words that she wrote? “Seek me,” she said, “Love, out on the sea: boundless the reaches of true love must be.” Ah! Passed she here? My sweetheart, passed she here?

Our search and longing for love will continue until we find it “out on the sea” of Spirit.

Musical Lesson 6

The Final Destiny of Our Love

I’ve learned that the sweetest songs ears ever heard were but Your echo. Lord, at last fill me completely, for nevermore I’d wander far from You!

After many lifetimes we shall all finally say: Now, Lord, my love is Yours.

Musical Lesson 7

The Magic of Finding God’s Love

I can’t breathe for love! All the stars above call to me, “Come home! Life’s waves all end in foam.” Only Love can heal all the pain I feel. What a fool was I to turn away!

Once God’s supreme love is felt, we realize what a fool we were to have ever turned away.
