Conscience is the voice of God in the soul.It is said that there is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience. In order to live a happier life we must follow our conscience, sitting inside us. It can be compared with a teacher, friend or a guide. In any circumstances, whenever we need, it is always there to guide us. But the fact is that, we should seek guidance from the friend already within us.
Whenever there is a problem, we seek advice from others rather digging deep inside. People will give advice according to their perception based on their experiences. But whenever we get answer from within, it is accurate. Swami Vivekananda rightly said, “Each soul is potentially divine and the goal of Human Life is to manifest that divinity already within us”.
The solutions to our problems are already within us.
When a person commits crime, he hesitates for the first time. This continues for 4-5 times. His conscience warns him that he is doing wrong. But after that, he will no longer feel like doing anything wrong as it has become his habit now. This happens with addictions as well. He seeks happiness in addictions which is temporary. And as we all know the end results are never good. Hence we must listen to our conscience to live a life full of happiness.
If we listen to our conscience, we will not only solve our problems but also lead a happier and a successful life. Before taking any decision, sit for atleast 10 minutes in silence and we'll get to know what to do. The great people like Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi and many others have succeeded in achieving huge goals in their lives by following their conscience.
