about

"It is often found that modern education in the West tends to cultivate the faculty of criticism without regard to the development of human emotion. This tends to destroy man's capacity for reverence and his faculty for appreciation. Children in the West are taught to criticize rather than to admire and love and appreciate. In order to appreciate much training is required. A training in sympathy and feeling as well as a training of the reasoning faculty. The music of Africa and the East is usually ignored in the West. The main reason for this is that the Western mind is trained above all to be critical. The critically trained mind demands that it have before it those forms to which it is accustomed. When these are absent it cannot find a standard by which to criticize and to contemplate and it becomes lost in the nothingness it sees before it. But the mind that has been trained to feel can by means of the emotions go behind an unfamiliar form and touch its soul."

-Musharef Khan
