Inner Voice of Conscience!

[Guest guest]

Namaste everyone!

Whenever we are about to do something wrong with some wrong Intention, our Inner

voice tries to make us aware of this doing & just tells us " It would be better

if its not done" Yet this voice never interferes with the action taken & we can

take action as per our conditioning & previous experiences. This voice always

keeps us aware of morality, the discrimination of right & wrong.

What's this Inner voice is all about?

Do we listen to our Inner voice?

This inner voice is called voice of Conscience.

Conscience can be defined as ability to discriminate in what's good & bad,

What's right & wrong so that righteousness( Dharma) prevails.If we try listen

to the Inner voice of conscience & start taking guidance from the Inner voice

for actions happening through us, most of our actions shall be moral & also

that would be the beginning of cleansing of the veil of Ignorance that makes us

see every action through the glass of good & bad & right & wrong.

This also begins the journey of mindfrom Tamas ( Inertia, inactivity) to Rajas (

Activity, restlessness & desires)to Satvaa ( Peaceful state).These are three

modes of nature through which Cosmic Illusion ( maya) functions.

How to listen inner voice?

Just know that the selfless voice within you is voice of Conscience.No big

effort is required & only little willingness, you can enquire within mind &

start following the inner voice with small actions & decisions.Slowly as modes

of mind change from Tamas to rajas the influence of inner mind on actions will

increase & once we are fully anchored in Satvic State,Truth shines

effortlessly.Just know that this Inner voice is always with us as a Guide in

thick & thin.

If we understand the concept of doership and the following statement of Buddha(

the enlightened one) the journey from Tamas to Rajas and finally to Satva

becomes easier.

Buddha after enlightnment said

"Events happen, deeds are done; but there is no doer thereoff!

Caution :-

This inner voice if suppressed for long time, it ceases & then the humans are on

the path of devils. Involution begins by rejecting conscience.The terrorist

produced are conditioned to suppress Inner voice & the result is they simply

don't think twice before taking life of innocent peoples. The people who are

too much behind material pleasures & thinks self in terms of only body-mind can

also suppress the voice of Conscience.

Following verse from Upanishads explains it beautifully

Dvaa suparnaa sayujaa sakhaayaa samaanam brkshyam parisasvajaate !

Tayoh anyah pippalam svaadu atti anya anasnan abhicaakashiti |

Two birds of beautiful feathers, both inseparable (sayujah) friends live

(parisasvajaate) on the same tree. Of these one eats (atti) the fruits of the

tree with relish. The other one without eating looks on.

(abhicaakashiti)Samaane brkshye purushah nimagnah anishayaa socati muhyamaanah

|

Justam yadaa pasyati anyam isham asya mahimaanam iti pasyati vitashokah |

Sitting on the same tree the jiva (individual human self) by his ignorance of

divinity (anishayaa) gets absorbed and feels miserable. But when sees the

adorable (justam) divinity of the other bird , he realizes his own greatness

and relieved from misery. (Svetasvatara Upanishad).

The higher self ( Inner voice, Universal voice) alaways guides the lower self (

voice of Individuality or Ego) untill the lower self understands that he was

under delusion of Bondage & there are no two self's but One. It always was one

& the viel of Ignorance made it appear it many through the magic of name &

forms & time, space & causation. Like space inside pot & all pervaiding space

is one but appears different due to name given to Pot as pot & the form of Pot.

When form of pot is smashed; what remains is all pervaiding Space.

Listen to the inner voice & let ego be taken over by the profound understanding

of harmony of moral thoughts & actions.
