What is the difference between music and the gymnastics of music?

Real music flows from a silent, meditative mind, dissolving the ego into pure listening, while the gymnastics of music is merely an ego-driven display, a madness that seeks applause rather than true expression.

— Osho
According to Osho, the difference is that real music arises from a silent, meditative mind and dissolves the ego into pure listening, bringing relaxation and even healing; the 'gymnastics' of music is mere madness—ego-driven display and emotional discharge masquerading as art, exciting the body, seeking applause, and deceiving the performer and audience alike.

Real music comes from inner silence and calms you; flashy, showy music is just ego and restlessness pretending to be art.
