"Composer to composer" p. 5, 6.

From the book "One step to creativity"

5. For me, man is no finished product not a dummy in the stellar a hop-window of the Universe, but a creation of Nature and his environs, subject to change like everything else in the world. There never was nor be a perfect model of man. All notions of man are interesting, yet we can see how they change. That yesterday appeared to be the last word, today seems outmoded. Why is this so? Because Confucian and Heraclitean rivers flows on, swifter and swifter with every day. Man is both the same as ever and every moment new. An entirely new being, such as never was before. He is an endless thought-process.

       6.  A symphony never to have a full stop. A melody never to finish. Who can tell what he will look like tomorrow? Man mast is viewed in the mirror of ever-following Confucian’s and Heraclitean’s rivers.The naked eye finds it hard to grasp the nuances of motion of human spirit. At times they are measured in microns. I believe in Man. 1 believe in humane music, whose death, as well as man's own has long been predicted by sundry false prophets. At different periods in history the intensity of light which music gives off, may vary. At times it emits bright flashes-comparable in power with the quasars occurring in infinite space. At others, it hardly glimmers.Yet there is n 't a single case I know of, when this Promethean fire turned into a "black hole ", failed completely.
