Do u know what most of the people do for most of the time to get relieved from the boredom and stress of life or when they are free? What do people generally do while travelling? Have you seen them with earphones around their neck which goes upto the ears? What they are listening to? exactly...music, songs refreshes the mind and connects them with their past happy moments of life. There may a few who don't like songs and music but people cherish songs like anything and if it's their favourite or any old romantic, love song then they get immersed into to it which reminds them of their past, as they say behind every favourite song there is untold story. Song speaks emotions which can't be expressed by words, it soothes the mind and apparently heals the heart, and that's why there exists music companies with the turnover of billions of dollars.
Song has power to entrap you or to liberate you, it's not always that songs will give you pleasure. I know one of my friend who would start bitterly crying whenever he would hear love songs and when I asked why he is shedding tears, he replied that,"because my memories associated with love song", I came to know that his girlfriend had ditched him giving him promise of false love and cheated him. This is the nature of material love and songs related with that love, that's create bondage. Do you know how they catch a deer? Bhagavatam explains,"A person should never listen to songs or music promoting material enjoyment. Rather, person should carefully study the example of the deer, who is bewildered by the sweet music of the hunter’s horn and is thus captured and killed". Deer gets attracted to sweet songs and gets killed, similarly we also have to be careful what to listen and what not to listen. Bhagavatam further explains that there was strong celibate saint named Rusyasringa, but when he heard Worldly songs from women he felt victim to them. One must understand from scriptures that pleasure doesn't exist in this material world, so what's the use of hearing of songs which promote such pleasure. And that's why one has to be very careful of what he are listening to. So many movie songs now a days only promote vulgarity and lust with no meaning to it's lyrics, hearing them is nothing but waste of time and increasing our passionate desires.
The love song which still attracts the hearts of millions from past thousands of years is not sung by any ordinary person but by the God Himself out of compassion and love for His children, it's Bhagvad Gita(Song Of God). This is the only song which has perfect and complete meaning to its lyrics and even a single word is filled with hopes, although sung without any music on battlefield it soothes the soul. This song teaches us how to become free from vices of heart by purification and directs us to true meaning of life, this song tells us where real pleasure lies and how to obtain that
So let's decide what to hear? Do you want to hear love song that traps you or the love song which has potency to liberate you from bondage of material life?
