The physical world exists, but that’s only the paint and canvas; that’s only the instrument we use to make music; that’s only the stage where the play is performed.

About This Quote

The physical world exists, but that’s only the paint and canvas; that’s only the instrument we use to make music; that’s only the stage where the play is performed. The quote above by Tchaikovsky is really all there is to it. The link between thoughts and feelings and the physical world is very strong. We think, we feel, we act. It is true that thoughts and feelings can be translated into words and actions, but those words and actions are only a means of communication and should not be mistaken for the message itself.

When we indulge in thoughts and feelings without action they become nothing more than a distraction from our true purpose in life. The physical world exists, but that’s only the paint and canvas; that’s only the instrument we use to make music; that’s only the stage where the play is performed.
