If there is anything in my philosophy,
it is the law of harmony:
that one must put oneself in harmony
with oneself and with others.
There are two aspects of individual harmony;
the harmony between body and soul,
and the harmony between individuals.
Harmony is brought about
by attuning oneself to all beings,
to all things, to all conditions, to all situations.
The best way of action is to consider
harmony as the first principle to be observed.
In all circumstances, situations, and conditions
try to harmonize with one's fellow-creatures.
A wise person harmonizes with his like,
and he harmonizes with his opposite.
The more one regards the feeling of others,
the more harmony one can create.
When a man is in harmony with himself,
he is in harmony with all.
At the back of the whole of creation is harmony
and the whole secret of creation is harmony.
Music is the miniature of the whole harmony of the universe,
for the harmony of the universe is music itself.
In the very depths of man's being
the harmony of the working of the whole universe
sums up in a perfect music.
Everyone shows harmony or disharmony
according to how open he is to the music of the universe.
The more he is open to all that is beautiful and harmonious,
the more his life is tuned to that universal harmony,
and the more he will show a friendly attitude towards everyone he meets,
his very atmosphere will create music around him.
The harmony of life can be learnt
in the same way as the harmony of music.
The ear should be trained to distinguish both tone and word,
the meaning concealed with in,
and to know from the verbal meaning and the tone of voice
whether is is a true or false not.
The attainment of harmony is life
takes a longer time to acquire and a more careful study
that does the training of the ear and the cultivation of the voice,
although it is acquired in the same manner as the knowledge of music.
