Learn to revere the Muses who help you to become heroes.

42.  According to the teachings of Plato music should not be understood in the narrow sense of music alone but as participation in all the harmonious arts--in singing, in poetry, in painting, in sculpture, in architecture, in speech, and finally in all manifestations of sound musicality is expressed.  In Hellas a ceremony to all the Muses was performed.  Tragedy, dance and all rhythmic movement served the harmony of cosmos.  Much is spoken about Beauty, but the importance of harmony is little understood.  Beauty is an uplifting concept, and each offering to Beauty is an offering to the equilibrium of cosmos.  Everyone who expresses music in himself sacrifices not for himself but for others, for humanity, for cosmos.

188.  The Thinker also said "Learn to revere the Muses who help you to become heroes.  The Muses lead you to achievement, they accompany you in battle and in labor and greet you with garlands of victory.  The Muses transform your sufferings into beauty.  The Muses will find you in the gardens that are adorned with the trees of knowledge.  The Muses will not abandon those who revere them.  Know how to serve the Muses, the gatekeepers of the Beautiful."

231.  The Thinker taught "Know how to recognize joy.  Among the Muses there is the Muse of Joy, but you can invite this Protectress only by beautiful words and thoughts.  Do not attempt to threaten and demand, for She comes only by the path of Beauty."

411.  The Thinker said "I would like to have in all labor the resounding of the chords of space.  The great music is the labor of our patrons, the Muses."        -Morya:  Supermundane 2, 1938
