So true. Sometimes it hits me that the musicians training is very
similar to the warriors training. The big difference though is that
musicians aim at unconditioned love while war aims at total dominance
through destruction. Different goals but similar methods. Makes me
think about that part in Bhagavad-Gita where Krishna tells Arjuna
"it's ok to fight if you do in a spiritual mode". Boy, does that story
stink!
