Similarly, at a mental level or at an emotional level, when something
is wrong or about to go wrong, we get a premonition, pre-cognition,
intuition that says, “Do not do this.”
We have our own unique problems.
Find out the worst one that you can imagine, that you managed to create it
yourself, for yourself or for your family.
How did you end up in that situation?
When we reflect upon it,
it gives some indication that,
“Because of this situation, because of this, this,and this,
I created this complexity in my life.”
Now, imagine a positive situation where you were so successful,
where you felt happy about doing something,
and when you made that decision to do the rightful thing.
What happened?
What went through your mind that you came to that conclusion
that, “I should do this”?
In both scenarios, you will see that heart had a lot to do with it.
You were able to make the rightful decision, because you must have
referred it to your heart, you must have followed the voice of your heart.
It is precisely when we override the voice of the heart that we
fail and invite miseries in life.
To vaccinate our mind, how to make our mind extremely discriminative,
extremely sensitive, so that we can differentiate
– discrimination only to differentiate what is right and wrong.
What can be the causal thing and what is the effect of that cause?
What we are doing today, or what we are going through,
is it an effect of something, or am I causing something new in this life?
So, all these answers, they come through very easily when we take a pause,
go inward, even for a few minutes.
Answers may not be available right then and there.
But it will unfold in its own way, within a day or two or a week.
Answers will come, one hundred percent.
And my personal experience shows that, years of my dealing
with all these shows that.
I have led as normal a life as you all have led.
I have a family life, business world, I was a student, and
now in a different capacity.
But in all these facets-being a student, being a family man, or
being yourself in a business world, everywhere - you are facing the unknown.
The very next minute, the next moment is unknown to us, what will transpire next.
But the best decisions are possible through all these
imaginations, infinite imaginations.
You filter them out with your wisdom, which we have gathered from our past
and through meditation, where we reach a certain level of superconsciousness,
where the intuition triggers certain impulses in the heart in the form
of feelings, and says, “Yes.”
The biggest and the loudest voice that can come is, “Do not do this.”
Have you noticed it?
If you have to say, “My name is so and so,” but instead if you say,
“My name is Suresh Prabhu”, if I have to introduce myself,
“aha! then I have to think many a time that,
Why are you falsifying yourself as ‘Suresh Prabhu’?”
My heart will start beating heavier the moment I speak a lie.
The moment I try to make a wrong decision, my vagal nervous system
will say, “No, no.” My heart will start beating faster, heavier and
the entire system will become heavy.
Per contra, when I make a right decision, I may not catch such signals, because
it is natural to do the right thing.
Let me make this point also very clear, as to how the heart helps
in making the rightful decision.
When I am not able to see the screen properly,
then I will get a signal that,
“Kamlesh, you are not seeing this screen properly.” Then I ask somebody,
“ Is something wrong with the screen?” “No, no, sir.” Then I have to wonder, “Oh,
my eyes are going bad.” Or hearing.
But when everything is happening in a normal way, when I am able to
see things properly, hear properly, my heart does not give any signal
that, “You are doing this correctly.
Your health is good.” It is only when the health is compromised that we
get a signal that something is wrong.
Similarly, at a mental level or at an emotional level, when something
is wrong or about to go wrong, we get a premonition, pre-cognition,
intuition that says, “Do not do this.”
