Question: How does one learn the inner meaning of a certain piece of music. Answer: Once you have read "The Soul Whence and Whither" you begin to feel that in every plane the cover of that particular plane is required in order to experience the life in that plane. And so, music being a world, poetry being a world and art being a world, a person who lives in the world of art, in the world of poetry, in the world of music knows music, poetry or art, he appreciates it. In order to have an insight into music one must live in it and observe that world most keenly. It is not sufficient that a person should be musical, and that he should occupy his heart and soul with music, but he should also develop intuition that he may see music keenly.
