Music is the silence between two notes.

"Music is the Silence between two notes" - Because of silence music becomes more appreciable, more attractive.
While listening to music, the silent place between two notes becomes more and more important.
What is the Breadth, depth and dimension of the music that matters a lot, if any one of it is a bit less or bit more, effect of music simply goes away.

Music is the two way communication between Performer and listener. Music is so natural that, when there is a silence between two notes, it is also known to the other, listener's mind. And that is the reason when the pause is less or more, music looses it's effect.

Each performance is always different than the previous performance.
If we play some raga say "Bhoop" in 100 concerts or "Mehfil"; then it is most likely that, we play 100 different variations of bhoop ragas.
Music is never same, it always adds its special effects. [I think this might be the reason, that each time when some famous singer or classical music players, play in the concerts though the same raga, people use to have recordings of all such concerts].... Music is always independent of anything, when it is pure, it is always different, and there can't be any comparison.

In Classical music, music is represented as a thought, the inner most true part of the self. Always try to put our thoughts in the music. And as each person is different, each thought is different, music is always different. If we have same guru for music, then also style of each Student (Shishya), for playing music is different, there can't be even comparison between students of the same guru. This is the uniqueness of music. Each one of us has to take efforts to put our thoughts in our playing, we can't be like each other and neither we can be like our guru. Don't copy the style of music, learn the music.
Music should reflect our uniqueness of thoughts.

Music- The Rhythm is always connected to the nature to our breath. Music is very well connected to our breath, where to stop, where not to stop, when to breath and when to take a pause. Each and everything matters in the music. Rhythm is natural phenomenon, we can say Music is universal and Rhythm is also universal, each and everything has some rhythm, some cycle,music should be in the same way. In Sanskrit Rhythm is called as "Lay", and opposite of Laya is Pralaya, when the rhythm is not present Pralaya happens (Pralaya means destruction of everything). If heart looses its natural rhythm, heart attack happens. Same as music, if Lay is not correct, music doesn't touches your own heart, forget about rest of the world.

Many times it happens that, there are many people who play music, but only few people make the difference, why so?
Music which lies above 100% always touches the heart of universe, music is something which is more than perfection. Music needs involvement. One should always go beyond the time,space and breadth of the music to get the real essence of the Music. Music is with us, within us, its not something which we never knew. We all are very connected to music, because it in us.Music is our nature.

There is a rhythm in the child's voice, we can observe it, when a baby cries, it goes through all swaras up and down, that also depending on the situation. If mother is not near by the baby cries in Upper Octave of the Swara Mandal, when mother is near by voice or swara reduces. Just Observe it.

Our all classical Ragas are so well connected to the nature. So all ragas represent some special time, some special season (ritu) and it's special effect at that time. If the music is so connected to the nature then Playing Malhar raaga and asking nature to Start rain is not a big thing. Only we should be able to connect us with the nature.

My teacher always says that to learn music we need two births, and that is the case, even if method is right, but person is wrong , how much hard he/she can try nothing is gonna happen, but if Person is right then even wrong methods will also make him/her to find the right track.

Thinking should be lateral and effect should be optimized
