Give an Ear to the Melody Inside

 

There is a voice inside, soft and musical but with biggest nuggets of sanity.

A.R. Rahman: “Your inner voice is the voice of divinity. To hear it, we need to be in solitude, even in crowded places.”

So, guys take a step away from the busy pavement. And listen to the voice of your best guide.

Even a thief knows someone is watching. It’s his inner self, the conscience, the real observer. It catches him long before law and society seize and condemn him. He knows, he is being watched by the real objective self. This real self is detached enough to mutely observe everything done by the carrier body in the folds of ignorance and darkness. Just that the thief shouts over the inner voice and makes off with the illegality. It's hard to have a thief who was in fine tuning with his inner voice and still carried out the misdeed.

No man killed, or injured, or committed crimes born of hate while listening to the soft inner voice. These are exceptions when the unfortunate person totally forgot the inner voice, and the door to his compassionate self bolted temporarily. Even the feeble-most rays from the real compassionate self are strong enough to remove the last traces of shadows under which one could have done some wrong. The alchemy of love is too strong to allow any poisonous traces remain in the cauldron.

So don't allow that little reminder to be drowned in the drama of life where we try to imitate others' lives, where we get trapped in stereotypes, enabling prejudices to subdue the real us. If you want to be the best version of yourself, you have to give an ear to the little best friend. It is your pathway to realize the most genuine self, the loving you, the compassionate and considerate you. It needs no repeating that it brings the best you have to offer on the basis of your inborn talents and skills.  

As you open up the channel to allow the gentle notes to come above, the all-knowing instincts will shake off the dust, leading you to the right path. And no correct path ever bypassed love, compassion, peace, harmony and happiness. These are simply the milestones falling along the right path.

As you dash on the rough and tumble of the outer show of life, keep your ears open for the best advisor, the inner voice. It will lead you over the hurdles that have been so far preventing you from fulfilling your destiny.

Mahatma Gandhi says everyone who wills can hear the inner voice that is within everyone.

You just have to learn to listen to it. It's your conscience, the seed of real you. It has all the motherly talks about what is best for you. The moment you start connecting to it, true liberation starts. Happiness, health, love and generosity are some of the simple fruits of this tree. You just have to listen. That's it. Only this much awareness will do. Awareness of this voice itself is the solution. It's like watering the great tree and it flourishes. So guys, keep your ears open. And believe me, it never misguides.

Far away from opinions and criticisms, it will help you discover the real you. Just have a look around, all the so called less-brained species have an innate ability to go intuitively in the game of survival. I think they are in league with the natural intelligence spraying around on the atoms of cosmic energy going round and round in cyclical transformations. No harm in feeling proud of our brainy bulk. But that is to win the war in the matter world. It unfortunately falls short of the real goal to be happy, which is the domain of our spirit.

To nourish your soul, you can hardly depend on the material world that is just one of the means to your real goal, not the end. So guys, amplify the soft notes of the inner voice. They carry the potential to turn you into the luxuriant canopy of a beautiful persona. Love and compassion are the fruits on the tree.

O traveler,

Forget about the hoot and holler

emanating from the world outside,

And give an ear to the soft and murmurous

cooings emanating from the soul,

It has a soft and sympathetic

message for you only, —

Your most personal message,

meant only for you,

Listen to these delicate chimes,

It’ll help you in finding peace in chaos,

In getting a foothold in the stampede,

In feeling rest, repose and respite

in the face of constant buffeting by the world around,

It’ll help you in breaking

the hardest of superficial layers,

which suffocate and limit your identity,

And put you face to face with

your  true self, your real worth,

Listen to it, close your eyes,

And pay attention with all your heart,

Just for a change,

don’t look far, look closest at yourself,

It’ll be as uneventful as looking

at a dust particle around your feet,

But it changes the universe for you,

You will have the biggest message

in the softest of whispering phrases!

And it’ll help you in finding yourself,

You will surprise yourself in being love incarnation.
