How can we distinguish…
the chatter of Mind…
from the urging of Conscience?
It is difficult to tell…
BECAUSE our desires are ever…
trying to get the better of us.
WHAT WE WANT
is not always good for us.
WHAT IS BEST FOR US
is not what we always want.
RESULT…
when a desire arises
Both voices can be heard ….
HOWEVER if we are honest
we can tell the DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN Mind and Inner Voice.
We are told that…
the inner voice or Conscience…
which most often alerts us…
is the VOICE OF GOD.
BUT dragged by desire…
the mind contradicts…
the Conscience’s right decision.
THE CONSCIENCE CAUTIONS:
‘Don’t do this…it is unsafe.’
BUT the mind…egged on by the Ego
counters with…
‘No harm in tasting/enjoying
You are human after all…’
and so on.
When we shut up the Conscience
and indulge in wrong action…
We are later overcome with…
Regret…guilt…even shame or anxiety.
THIS IS A SURE SIGN…
we did NOT heed the INNER VOICE
And submitted to desires of the Mind.
If we refuse to take heed…
the knocks and blows…
of the outside world will effectively
teach…the difference between…
Lure of Mind…
and Voice of Conscience!!!
