As this jour­ney of cog­ni­tion pro­ceeds to higher and higher worlds of mu­sic, the higher in­ner en­er­gies re­leased within us flow through our feel­ing to our mind, pro­vid­ing our mu­si­cal thought with more agility and radi­ance – but they also flow to our sense of hear­ing, and our hear­ing feels as if it would take in all the sound­ing nour­ish­ment of the world through a huge mouth, and would feed it­self com­pre­hen­sively.
Si­mul­ta­ne­ously, the streams of in­tel­li­gence flow through our un­der­stand­ing to our mind and in­crease the clar­ity of its images.

It is the na­ture of this proc­ess of gain­ing knowl­edge that it em­ploys the very proc­ess of con­dens­ing our tools of cog­ni­tion as a means of gain­ing knowl­edge, i.e. it ties the meshes of the net of cog­ni­tion tighter and tighter so that now, fur­nished with an ever tighter, ever brighter, ever more golden net of knowl­edge, it draws in­sights of a higher and higher or­der from the ocean of mu­sic.

So, the proc­ess of mu­si­cal gain­ing knowl­edge is not only a de­vel­op­ment of the proc­ess of cog­niz­ing truth in gen­eral, but it is also an edu­ca­tional sys­tem to sys­tem­ati­cally refine the means of gain­ing knowl­edge, as well as a prac­ti­cal ex­er­cise to skil­fully han­dle them.

The proc­ess of con­sid­era­tion is sys­tem­ati­cally and logi­cally built into the mu­si­cal proc­ess of know­ing, since the lis­tener con­siders at eve­ry moment which path of mu­si­cal knowl­edge to take.
Due to his natu­ral in­ner de­sire for greater joy, he de­cides for that path which quickly and with­out ob­struction leads into the depth of the mu­si­cal sense and to higher knowl­edge; be­cause, ac­cord­ing to a law of na­ture, the knowl­edge of finer and more com­plex mu­si­cal or­ders gives the lis­tener greater joy and hap­pi­ness.
