Listening to an orchestra or a choir can inspire human beings to reflect upon the harmony which should reign among them. Unfortunately, however, this is usually not the case. Even upon leaving the most extraordinary concert, people do not realise that they must do something to establish this harmony, this beauty in their lives. Disharmony is the most widespread state in the world, so widespread that now even religions, even spiritual movements are places of every kind of confrontation. Not only do some religions clash with others, but even within each religion, each spiritual movement, the same misunderstandings and conflicts can be found. And the Lord scratches his head and looks at the mess that unfolds in his name! So, from now on, why not consider the Lord as a conductor whose role is to ensure that harmony reigns? It is He who has the true tuning fork, and when all human beings are in tune, they will resemble harps through which marvellous music can be heard when the wind and the divine breath pass.
