THE VOICE OF THE SOUL

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on July 21, 2012 at 7:00pm

Do not mistake the promptings of the lower mind for the voice of the Soul. The higher mind, which tends towards virtue, is the Sattwic mind. The higher mind elevates man and guides him. It acts as a tree preceptor.
You should try to listen to the voice of the Sattwic mind. If a wrong action is done, the Sattwic mind will prick you. This is tile sign of knowing that the action is bad. If there is joy and elevation of mind, the action is a righteous one. That mind which tends towards luxury and evil is the lower mind. Annihilate Rajas and Tamas by increasing Sattwa.
