Refining Consciousness Contest of Unseeking Seeker - instrumentalising mind, I rested thought employing it only when needed shifting to heart, I became self-taught gentling touch, voice of conscience heeded 15 Aug 2024
Within the dark mystery of evening, he listens to two interchangeable discourses One the gentle persuader, the other, life's ultimate blamer. Troubled by these seething exchanges, both conscious and unconscious currents resound, As the master's inner thoughts boom, pounding into trails of indecision with wired quizzes on his mind. In silence, he weighs dark and light perspectives- question left unanswered in the din of reflection, and through gradual flow of spontaneous musings, Logic nags his cerebral strains- scientific, structured assessment of matters which do not really matter... Somehow, amid the debate where reason pauses with the fragile voice of instinct, the heart remains silent offering gentle hunches revealing the wisdom born from honesty, truth... Slowly, this inner prompting arises as the master in quiet introspection realizes: the mind can lie , pride is ego- based ...but the heart, can it in conscience cope with deceit?
