musical systems

04.01 2009


I was on the top of a high building. There was no real roof, it was an open roof, such as are common in Asia. I looked down to a nearby building and I saw Baba sitting by a whiteboard with a few people around Him. He was giving a lecture under the open sky and had used the whiteboard to explain things.


He had drawn a table with letters and numbers on it. There was some mathematical system to it, but I didn’t understand it.

Baba talked about different musical systems in the world and compared them to one another. I remember Him mentioning the Persian system and some European system, maybe also an Indian system. He pointed to some letter or number, referring to a particular musical system, and indicated that there was a similarity or even an identical concept on another musical system that was associated with another number or letter elsewhere on the board, which He then also pointed to.


I didn’t understand how it worked but I was completely engrossed in looking at Baba. Then, suddenly Baba somehow came to me and, standing right in front of me, bid me Namaskar with a big smile...


My heart became filled with joy.

Then, the dream ended.
