Coward asks ," Is it safe ?"
Avarice asks ," Is there any gain in it ?"
Vanity asks ," Can I become great ?"
Lust asks ," Is there any pleasure in it ?"
AND
Conscience asks ," Is it right ?"
Conscience , inner voice or the intuition
as we commonly know literally means learning from within. It is the light of
the Soul that burns deep within the chambers of our heart. It's a voice of the
Self...a " Gut " feeling which says "Yes" or "No"
when one is involved in a moral struggle. It's a voice inside each one of us
that whispers all day..."I feel this is right for me ," or " I
feel this is wrong "...a guiding voice which warn you like a teacher ,
preacher or friend to distinguish Right from Wrong.
Do you struggle with listening to
your inner voice ? Do you doubt yourself and every inner signal you feel
?.....Well !!! you are not alone as each one of us sometimes or the other go
through a period when we must decide what we feel and what we know..must choose
between the Mind and the Heart. Many a time the love we feel hides the truth
from Mind but seldom from our Soul. At times the bond between the heart and the
mind is so strong that they try to overpower each other but neither one alone
or together can overpower the Soul...so, when such a time come then you must
allow Soul to " GUIDE YOU ".
Most of us are not aware of the
inner voice or even if we are , we fail to follow it. A few years back even I didn't
know that I could follow my Soul...never heard the concept of inner voice or
inner wisdom but then slowly I started to follow my interests and doing what
made me feel good , avoided going against my better judgment or getting talked
into things that just don't feel right and realized that this is the essence of
doing what you love and listening to the subtle voice inside you.
Each one of us have this instinct
but the problem starts when we listen too much of the voices of other's
opinions ,clutter our minds , bogged down by the day to day pressures that we
start to think we are doing wrong and we fail to listen to our inner voice. I
am sure everyone of us including Me have gone through one of these
periods...and during such a time I learnt that the challenge is to calm the
mind instead of worrying what might go wrong in life ,learn to "LET GO"
and allow myself to flow along , learn to be Myself and most importantly found the
courage to follow heart and intuition as somehow they know what's right. You
will know you have made the right decision when there is peace in your heart
and mind.
Stop listening to what the world
say, instead start listening to your Heart...deep inside everyone know what
they want....let no one decide that for you. Inner voice is nothing but a
harmonious relationship between the integrity of your own mind and your daily
conduct and looking back all I see that while it was a period of struggle..it
also helped me go deeper into what worked for me and gave me the will to hear
and follow my inner voice with conviction.
" Your heart is a witness to
the truth or falsehood. He who being one thing represents himself as another
thing to others is like a thief and a robber of his own self of what Sins he
not capable ? You think that you alone has knowledge of your deed but know that
GOD live in your heart....he know all your sins and you sin in his presence. He
who sins think that none observes him but he is observed by the GOD who is in
every heart."
- Vaisampayana (The
Mahabharta - Adi Parva)
WHEN YOUR SOUL SPEAKS....TRUST YOUR SOUL
