Can experiencing the music of the flute player be on the same level as the experience sought in Sufism?

"In the depth of silent, egoless listening, whether to a flute or a Sufi master, the listener dissolves, and in that vast silence, truth reveals itself."
According to Osho, yes: the object is irrelevant—the listener’s quality of silent, egoless receptivity is everything. Whether hearing a Sufi master, a flute player, birds, or a waterfall, the same transformation can occur when listening becomes so deep that the listener disappears. In this non-doing, a vast silence opens, truth penetrates, and one harmonizes with the whole—the very essence Sufism seeks.
If you listen so quietly that your “me” fades, a flute, a bird, or any sound can give you the same God-experience Sufis seek.
Why this matters practically
- Train deep, silent listening in daily sounds to dissolve ego and taste inner peace.
- Focus less on special objects or teachers and more on your own receptivity.
- Practice non-doing—just be and let go—to allow truth and love to arise naturally.
