Finding Peace in Rythmic Patterns

Whenever we try to solve a puzzle or the Rubik's cube, we fix one set in it's place and then build around it. This is exactly what rythmic patterns seem to do. Sometime back on a science page I was reading about how the universe is made up of many patterns. The Fibonacci for example is not just a mathematical sequence but a pattern found significantly in nature- in flowers, trees and leaves. Similarly, rythmic chanting is a pattern that aligns us with the cycle of the universe. 

Pattern as in the case of a Strotam seems to be working like cogwheels in machinery. Repetition aligns us into the chain in which the universe runs and thus gives us balance. In this context, finding peace in Shiva (or any God) is like heading in the direction of your own focal point, which sets in motion realignment of all the other things around us.
