"Our Indian ragas or classical melodies represent moods, or else they represent certain aspects of time or of nature. A raga may be called a design or pattern or it may be called a poetical picture. Or it may be described as a mathematical formula. The knowledge of the construction of the raga is initself an education"
"For these experiences are real, as real as the experience of physical sight and hearing and touch. And thus it is that we may speak of them by saying they come with the beauty of music. Or that they come with the beauty of light. Or with a sweet perfume. Or as reviving and a life-giving touch."
