Because, when we make music, we dont do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of a composition. If that were the purpose of music, to get to the end of the piece.
And so likewise, when we are dancing, we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor, as we would be if we were taking a journey.
When we dance, the journey itself is the point. When we play music, the playing itself is the point.
The trouble with religion as we know it, is that it is so mixed up with grim duties: we do it because it’s good for you, it’s a form of self-punishment’. Well, meditation when correctly done has nothing to do with all that.
