Can Music change the world?

"There are two kinds of music, divine and earthly music. Divine music exhilarates the spirit, while earthly music has an effect upon the body. Divine music belongs to the Kingdom of God, earthly music is of the mundane world. I hope you will be confirmed to study both kinds of music so that you may be able to sing the anthems of heaven and the songs of this world.
-ʻAbdu'l-Bahá [1844-1921]

"... Music has changed with time, and in turn, it has had a considerable impact on world events and our society at large. It’s even more interesting that every single age of music can be associated with some sort of purpose or message. Ludwig van Beethoven once said that music can change the world, and honestly, he is right. The number of things that have happened because of music...it’s simply unimaginable — a case in point being the Free Mandela concerts held in 1988. Millions of people around the world abhorred the decision made by the South African government to keep Nelson Mandela behind bars. A concert was held by a few activists in an attempt to help free him. By a few activists, I mean 600 million people! The audience also included celebrities, who flocked from all around the world to rally support for the man who’s considered to be the ‘Gandhi of South Africa’."
- Euan Clague, Young Times

"... The artistic expression called music could be very loud sometimes. Because of this, it can attract attention easily, influence opinions, and shape ideologies. Most importantly, music can heal, break down barriers, reconcile, educate, assist the needy, galvanize support for good causes, and even promote the protection of human rights. Music has the undisputed capacity to make the world a better place".
-The Daily Iowan

"O SON OF MAN!
Sorrow not
save that thou art far from Us.
Rejoice not
save that thou art drawing near and returning unto Us."

To See Your True Nature,
Become Buddha Like.
-----
O SON OF LOVE!
Thou art but one step away from the glorious heights above and from the celestial tree of love. Take thou one pace and with the next advance into the immortal realm and enter the pavilion of eternity. Give ear then to that which hath been revealed by the Pen of Glory.
- Bahá’u’lláh

✅ كوتاه و ديدنى🌱
سیم ششم" فیلم انیمیشن 14 دقیقه ای و روایتی از زندگی استاد تار موسیقی ایران
درویش خان است . ساخت این انیمیشن دو سال به طول انجامید و بهرام عظیمی نسخه کامل این اثر هنری را که تاکنون به صورت عمومی منتشر نشده بود به مناسبت درگذشت تهیه کننده فقید انیمیشن ایران محمد ابوالحسنی به او تقدیم کرد و در کانال اینستاگرام خود در فروردین 1400 منتشر کرد.
The Sixth String is an animation based in Tehran during the mid 1920’s, of which tells the touching true story of a legendary tar player’s early days , Darvish Khan, going through multiple phases as he seeks inspiration for a song. On the verge of giving up on composing music, he happens to coincidentally come across a source of inspiration so simple, but eventually lead up to him revolutionizing Iranian music... ِ
Bahram Azimi is dedicated the Sixth String to Mohammad Abolhasani, the late Iranian animation producer who passed away in March 2021.

O friends! It behoveth you to refresh and revive your souls through the gracious favours which in this Divine, this soul-stirring Springtime are being showered upon you. The Day-Star of His great glory hath shed its radiance upon you, and the clouds of His limitless grace have overshadowed you. How high the reward of him that hath not deprived himself of so great a bounty, nor failed to recognize the beauty of his Best-Beloved in this, His new attire. Watch over yourselves, for the Evil One is lying in wait, ready to entrap you. Gird yourselves against his wicked devices, and, led by the light of the name of the All-Seeing God, make your escape from the darkness that surroundeth you. Let your vision be world-embracing, rather than confined to your own self.

- Bahá’u’lláh [1817-1892]

Happy Naw-Ruz | Have a Joyous Spring Time!
🌹 عید نوروز مبارک 🌹سال نو مبارک🌱

" ... Soon the whole world, as in springtime, will change its garb. The turning and falling of the autumn leaves is past; the bleakness of the winter time is over. The new year hath appeared and the spiritual springtime is at hand. The black earth is becoming a verdant garden; the deserts and mountains are teeming with red flowers; from the borders of the wilderness the tall grasses are standing like advance guards before the cypress and jessamine trees; while the birds are singing among the rose branches like the angels in the highest heavens, announcing the glad-tidings of the approach of that spiritual spring, and the sweet music of their voices is causing the real essence of all things to move and quiver.

-‘Abdu’l-Bahá [1844-1921]

"… a period of meditation and prayer, of spiritual recuperation, during which the believer must strive to make the necessary readjustments in his inner life, and to refresh and reinvigorate the spiritual forces latent in his soul. Its significance and purpose are, therefore, fundamentally spiritual in character".
– Shoghi Effendi,
Directives from the Guardian, pp. 28-29.
----------
"It behoveth the people of Baha, throughout these days, to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy, and with joy and exultation to hail and glorify their Lord, to sing His praise and magnify His Name."
- Baha'u'llah [ 1817-1892 ]
