I got captivated by the title of the poem! Idon't know what deep currents of meaning it embodies! Music springs from within and it hides within the innermost core of one's self. In perfect silence with no disturbance to shatter the silence, we can hear it. It is as inaudible as the music of the stars......! Your longing to know the instrument of self is the noblest longing! Only the workman who knows his tools can put them to their best use!
