The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 4 Feb 2021The inner voice is the call of conscience or the signal from God. People say that the Divine dwells within you and gives you corrective signals when you tend to go in the wrong direction. The inner voice is really a hint from the supreme spiritual power who is all pervasive. He, being subtler than your soul, pervades even you and knows all your thought processes in a real time setting. He knows your every ambition, every plan, every decision or half decision and every dilemma. He, being omniscient, knows the truth of everything and the right and wrong of every matter. Being your preceptor and protector, he has to guide you at every step. He knows that you are weak and fallible, limited by intellect. Hence, it is but natural that He will provide his guiding signal for your course correction. It is up to you to heed His voice or ignore it, because you are free to chart your way forward through life.
