 connoisseur is provocateur

a response with a right understanding is a great compliment to the artist.

it is in fact ,a compliment to the one who has responded as well  for his capacity to receive the message.

koi suntha nahi khudake siva [ none listens, except god]----laments a soul

if there is one who can listen , is he not equal to khuda himself?

good absorbers are good radiators--a law in the subject of heat transfer

capacity to receive is a great divine gift

that is why an adage --blowing shankha at a deaf ear

the understanding unites the artist and the connoisseur, establishes a contact ,a channel, thru which the friendship flows, intimacy grows instantly,

both become a unity, a bigger whole, 
a richer wealth, --separate atoms becoming a molecule.

the phenomenon becomes more picturesque on a stage performance, may be a speech, poetry,  drama, dance, music

the artist and audience having acquired / rather taken in to one unity, 
they revel in that bigger dimension, the self referral unity.

due to the self referral effect, the knowledge / performance flows in unexpected new channels with extempore / spontaneity , 

the depth increases, the art flows, all getting immersed in the ocean of unity,
the bliss of ,goodness, beauty, --
the rasaanubhoothi

rasagnatha, the ability to appreciate, receive, respond is a great quality comparable to an expert who can cognize gems, 

he moves up in taste, some new channels inside get opened by the effect of the artists performance, an instant elevation to a gandharva loka , the world of angels, gods, probably

hence it' s importance and one poet extolled its import saying that  it is like fragrance adding value to flower

in the company of rasagnas, or rasikas, the enlightened receivers , the artist gets inspired beyond a measure and his souls pleased, blesses him much more creativity to display.

response need not be a empty praise, flattery, a formality, a favor--it can be a criticism to share more points of views ,more beauty added in effect. 

artists grow a lot with response, 
correct the inadvertent mistakes , 
see new visions, new ways to flow, 
and reach a level of perfection, more quickly than in a situation of no response. 

thus,  connoisseurs  are  provocateurs 

and thus the artists and the provocateurs help each others , both growing and sharing performance and praise mutually,

and both move to a new world 
and the known world thereby expands, gets filled with knowledge and fulfillment

well, leads me to add---
god is the artist/expressing in various forms/ in creation/thru creation /thru creatures

bhakth is the connoisseur, and hence provocateur

both unite in sharing bliss

also
artist and art both form a pair in self referral of artist

and artist, himself, is the best connoisseur, in the best self referral with his best self , the provocateur
