Dear Ramanaduli,
Yes all "kalas", arts are the learning process through the mind.
But the epitome of all these arts are the Godhead. A good painter
can reach god through his painting. A good sculptro can reach
god through his sculpting. A good thief, through his excellent
thieving art, can reach god. Remember Kabir Das story. A good
sex monger can reach god. Remember Arunagiri Natha.
That is why Sri Soundarya Lahari says, when Sarasvati was playing
veena, and when Lalita said, Good... Good...., Sarasvati stopped
playing veena further, because in comparison to Lalita's sweet
voice, the sound of veena was nothing!
Arunachala Siva.
